1. Legend 2. Task duration

[Placek]

Tasks carried out by Team A have been assigned horizontal lines, Team B have
vertical lines. How do i add this to the legend?

Also, i have amended each working day to 7 hours 30 minutes in the "Change
working time" dialogue box and changed it to 7.5 hrs per day in the 'define
time units' dialogue box. Yet when i create a task that lasts 1 day, the
duration column shows 0.97 days. Why does it not show 1 day?

Thanks for the info. I've managed to customize the task bars, but still
cannot get my head around the default working hours. Open a new project and
enter a single task to last one day. After, re-enter (on the calendar) the
start and end date (so that it lasts one day). Does your's say that it is
1.11 days? Mine did and surely it should say 1 day?

Hi Placek,

The last part of the FAQ reminds you to re-enter Durations that were in
existence before the changes were made. This is designed so that existing
data cannot be changed in retrospect, messing up all that has been done or
previously planned. Changes only apply to the future, hence the need to
re-enter the Durations.
