Good Morning.
How was your night?
I want to teach you how to assign a project calendar using MS project.
The essence of assigning this is to create a calendar that will suit your immediate want while using MS Project.
For project to correctly determine a schedule, working and non-working times should be included. Project has three default base calendars – Standard (traditional), 24 Hours and Night Shift. Each base calendar can be customized to meet your needs.
To create a calendar, kindly follow the steps below:
- From the Project Tab, click Change Working Time.
2. Click Create New Calendar.
3. Enter a name for the Calendar; Select a Type and Click OK.
4. Specify exceptions (holidays, non-working days/hours). Then click OK.
After you have done the above, then ensure you assign the calendar to a project.
To do this, kindly follow these two steps:
- From the Project tab, click Project Information.
- Select the desired calendar from the dropdown list and click OK.
Your questions are welcome.
Thank you.
