Change non-working days

[Stan Wofford]

How do I change Saturday and Sunday from non-working to working on an
existing schedule?

 

[Darrell]

Per Jim Aksel:

P2003: Tools/Change Working Time. Highlight the days desired, click
"Non-Default Working Time" radio button. You should also check individual
resource calendars if necessary --- a resource will not work on a day off if
their calendar is set to override the project calendar.

P2007: Tools/Change Working Time. In the bottom you will see Exceptions.
Type a name, establish a date range. Click "Details...", click "Working
Time" Click OK. Same rules apply for resource calendars as above.

Another suggestion

If you want to make all Saturdays and Sundays working for your project in
Tools > Change working time > select your project calendar > go to Work weeks
option > Make the required changes in Details

If you change in Details of Default (first row) it happens for the total
calendar. Otherwise you could select a different row > select the time period
for which the change is required > make the changes in details.

Do your resources, as individuals, really work 7 days a week? If you assign
Joe to a task that will take 3 weeks to complete, does he not get any time
off until it's done, not a single day off for the entire 3 weeks? Not
saying that can't happen but I would think it would be rare and in fact it
would be illegal in most employment situations and jurisdictions. Setting
your project calendar so every day is a working day says that's exactly the
way each of your employees work, that no one ever gets a day off. The
calendar determines the hours during which a task will be scheduled. Since
tasks should be broken down to the point that a task in your project plan is
the activity of ONE resource or a TEAM of resources who work together as a
single unit, the calendar should reflect the work hours when that single
individual or group will be physically present on the job. It does not
describe the overall hours of operation of your firm - it describes the
working hours of a typical resource on your project and should reflect their
days off.
