Excellent question! Yes, it is possible to create an enterprise calendar
for each country. Here's how:
1. Launch Microsoft Project Professional and log into Project Server with
administrator permissions
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise Global
3. Click Tools - Change Working Time
4. Click the New button
5. Name your calendar using the name of the country
6. Select the "Create new base calendar" option and click OK
7. Select the country's holidays for at least the next year and mark them
as Nonworking time
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for each country's calendar
9. Click OK
10. Save and close the Enterprise Global file
11. Exit Microsoft Project Professional and relaunch the software, and ask
your project managers to do the same
Next, you will need to specify the correct country calendar as the Base
Calendar for each resource in the Enterprise Resource Pool. To do so, click
Tools - Enterprise Options - Open Enterprise Resource Pool and check out all
resources. Specify a Base Calendar value for each resource, then save and
close the Enterprise Resource Pool.
When a PM creates a new project, he/she should specify the country calendar
for the project by completing the following steps:
1. Click Project - Project Information
2. Select the country calendar from the Calendar pick list and click OK
3. Click Format - Timescale and click the Non-working time tab
4. Select the country calendar from the Calendar pick list and click OK
Hope this helps.
