Get Started with Open Workbench › About Calendars › Edit Calendars

Edit Calendars

Use the Calendars dialog box to edit or delete the project calendar. The fields in the System Options section of the page apply to all projects you have open in an Open Workbench session. Use the fields in the Calendar Editing section of the page to create a new calendar and to select the calendar on which to base the new calendar. Use the calendar's scroll bar to scroll forward or backward through the months of the year.

You can save the changes you make to the calendar to use them later only if you have defined a global file location. You can make changes in any case, but when you save the project back to CA Clarity PPM, unless you have defined a global file location, the CA Clarity PPM calendar you edit reverts to their original settings.

Note: If you are using Open Workbench with CA Clarity PPM, the changes you make to CA Clarity PPM calendars are not saved back to CA Clarity PPM.

In the calendar grid, you can do the following:

• Select weekday column headings to select all the weekdays throughout all months and years of the calendar to apply your changes.
• Select single or multiple days to apply your changes.
• Click the scroll bar to move to next or previous month.
• Select a single day and click Workday to set the selected day to a workday. Resources are expected to be available for use on this day.
• Select a day and click Holiday to set the selected day to a non-workday. Resources are not expected to be available for use on this day.
• Remove individual holiday and non-standard workday exceptions and reset the selected days to their base calendar settings.
• Remove all holiday and non-standard workday exceptions and reset the calendar to the base calendar settings.
