Hi Jose and Julie,
I am reading the Microsoft paper "About Using Calendars in Project"
(
http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/project/HP452955631033.aspx?pid=CH010688931033 ). It leaves me a bit confused.
Can either of you tell me what the difference is between a "Base Calendar
(which is set up us and used by Project as the base template for all of
Project's calendars) and the Project Calendar (in which one sets the number
of hours in a work day and the non-working days)? Once this is sorted out,
How does one know when one is making setting for the Base Calendar and when
one is making settings for the Project Calendar? I had a situation in which
I used the Project "Set Up Project Wizard" and therein set the working day to
7.5 hours running from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.. Yet when I ran the report on the
project calendar it indicated a standard 8 hour workday running from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Worse, I could find no way to set the working days for the Project
Calendar, other than by the means I had seen through the project set-up
wizard or by going to Calendar/options and setting my defaults there. These
defaults were still not reflecte din the Project report.
Another question on my mind regarding MS Project calendars...How does one
select to view specifically the Project, or the Resource, or the Task
calendar?
Thanks
