Calendars, Shifts, and Nonwork Days

The standard base calendar determines FTE and other calculations. As a project manager or resource manager, verify the base calendars show the correct work days, shifts, and nonworking days. You can designate only one base calendar as the standard. Base calendars serve as templates for other calendars including specific resource calendars and role calendars. The selected base calendar for a resource or role determines FTE when you allocate a resource or role to a project team. Resource calendars also help calculate resource availability, capacity, demand, and allocation.

Follow these steps:

1. To modify a base calendar or define a new one:
   1. Open Administration, and from Project Management, click Base Calendars.
   2. Click a calendar or click New.
2. To modify a resource calendar:
   1. Open Home, and from Resource Management, click Resources.
   2. Select a resource or role.
   3. Click the Calendar tab.

For example, you can change the workdays and nonworkdays of the week. You can define up to four standard work shifts.
