Help requested to display working time only - Project 2000

[Sparkyand21]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to display only working time on the gantt chart?

I'm setting up a plan of house renovations and can only work sensibly at
weekends. As such I want to suppress the weekdays as this just extends the
size of the chart on screen and on paper.

Any help would be appreciated.

Nope, sorry. Just like a clock won't display only working time and skip the
evenings, neither will the Gantt chart timescale.

Yes, there is a way.
Make a weekend calendar for your project, working only Saturday and Sunday.
Set up the timscale to calendar the same way and to show the "Non-working
Time" in front of task bars (colour it white. Set your resouces (you) in the
same weekend calendar. The Gnatt chart will show you working only on the
weekends. But it wont shorten your chart, unless you use a timescale to fit
it into.
Hope this helps. Colin D.

I understood Sparky to want to have non-working days completely omitted from
the timescale. You method does in fact only schedule tasks on Saturday and
Sunday but it doesn't actually remove M-F from the display alltogether. By
the way. instead of chagin the colours for the weekend dates, a better way
is to use the newly created weekend work calendar to also control the
display on non-working days in the timesscale, set on the same page where
you change the colour of non-working days. Now it would show Sat and Sun as
normal work days and Mon-Fri with the grey, non-working background colour.
