Project Calendar

You can assign a calendar to a project when you're creating a project. The associated calendar is used for scheduling purposes.

Note: Project application administrators can set the default project calendar from the Define Project Management Implementation Options page.

By default, the project calendar determines the working and nonworking hours, shifts, and working and nonworking days. You can view the project calendar by clicking the Manage Project Calendar link in the Actions panel tab.

You can use the project calendar to:

• Create project events and team member events: Events convert working hours into nonworking hours and the project schedule is automatically recalculated.

• View unscheduled events: View deliverables without need-by dates, milestones without finish dates, and project tasks without start or finish dates.

• View tasks, deliverables, and milestones.

• View schedule exceptions: Off period and work period exceptions are displayed as standard calendar events.

Here are a few things you must keep in mind when managing project calendars:

• Project events only affect the project to which it belongs. It doesn't affect other projects which use the same calendar.

• Project managers can only edit the events they created. You can't edit or delete events created by other team members. For example, if a team member creates a PTO, project manager can't edit or delete it.
