Calendars enable you to define available workdays and workhours in a day. You can also specify national holidays, recognized holidays, project-specific work/nonworkdays, and resource vacation days. You can establish an unlimited number of calendars to accommodate different work patterns. There are three calendar pools: global, project, and resource. The global calendar pool contains calendars that apply to all projects in the database. The project calendar pool is a separate pool of calendars for each project in the organization. The resource calendar pool is a separate pool of calendars for each resource. You can assign multiple users a resource calendar that they can share, but cannot edit. You can also assign a personal calendar to a resource that will show up in My Calendars and that the resource can customize. You can assign resource or global calendars to resources, and global or project calendars to activities.
Assign calendars to each resource and activity to determine time constraints in a uniform way. For example, based on its calendar, a resource might not be available; or, if the resource is available, the activity might not fit the calendar requirements.
The application uses your calendar assignments for leveling resources, scheduling, and tracking activities.
