Calendars

Use the Calendars dialog to:

Create a calendar.
Edit an existing calendar for use by all projects you open in the application.
Select the calendar you want to apply to every project you open in the application.
Temporarily modify the work week schedules.
Assign common vacations, holidays, or other periods of zero availability.
Print a calendar. You can print a snap shot of the month that is displayed in the Calendar grid. You can print one month at a time.

The application provides a standard calendar by default. A project (.rmp) file may also have other calendars that are associated with it if you created new calendars while working with the file.

To open the Calendars dialog, open the Project ribbon, and click Calendar. The System Options section applies to all projects you have open in an Open Workbench session. Use the Calendar Editing section to create a calendar and to select the calendar on which to base the new calendar.

You can save the changes that 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, the CA Clarity PPM calendar you edit reverts to their original settings, unless you have defined a global file location.

If you are working on different projects that use different calendars with the same name and you open one or more .rmp files during an Open Workbench session, the calendar in the first opened project is the one used by all projects, even if those projects use calendars with the same name.

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.

Using the calendar grid, you can perform the following actions:

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.
