Non Working day not showing in Gantt Chart

C

Cazzy123

Hi I have made a copy of the standard calendar and in the copy calendar under
Change Working Time I have added a couple of Non Working days. They show up
as an 'exeption day' in calendar here but when I look at the date in the
gantt view it is still showing as a working day.

I have checked under the Project properties that the Copy Standard calendar
is being used.

Has anyone any idea as to why it is not showing in the Gantt Chart.

Thanks

The Gantt chart non-working time display can be controlled by any base
calendar you choose and is set indepedently of the Project Calendar setting.
To have your customized calendar control the non-working day display, right
mouse-click on the timescale, choose "Timescale," select the Non-Working
Time tab, and set your desired calendar as the controlling calendar from the
drop-down box.

Thank you Steve.
It works also for me, it helps..

In fact I have a related need and a related question to solve:
- I would like to display Non-Working Time (let's say NWT) in Gantt view

a) first need, "NWT" defined in Calendar associated to current project
-> that's the aspect covered by Steve's answer -> ok, solved !

b) second need, "NWT" defined in a resource calendar; for example, let's say that "Ben" will not work on next Monday,
My context: I manage projects with several resources and it would be a help to visualize the non working time of people on same Gantt view than the overall project.
I agree that my need is not completely well formed, as I expect a mix between global info on project WITH personal info on a given person.
Your ideas are welcome....
Best Regards
Ben,

Hello Ben,

You can display the nonworking time for a specific resources as the
background of the Gantt chart view through Format > Timescale. If the
resource's calendar is based upon the project calendar, it will show
nonworking time from both the project calendar and any exceptions
specific to the resource's calendar.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.
