The Default Working Calendar is used by MS Project to calculate all Timescales and Resource costs. It defaults to a working day of 8 hours with the working hours 0800 to 1200 and 1300 to 1700.
You can create your own calendar with your own particular times. If this is not a standard 8-hour day you must remember to tell MS Project what the standard day is. Each resource you add will be based on the calendar you select when you start your project.
Depending on the nature of your project you may find that the base calendar and standard 8-hour day is satisfactory. A full day’s work is considered as two shifts¾one in the morning and one in the afternoon. You can use the From and To text boxes in the Working Time area to specify up to three shifts. Selecting Default restores selected days and working hours to their default settings. |
