Lesson 1.11. Adjusting Working Days Figure 1-11. The Change Working Time dialog box. In addition to changing working hours, you can also modify the working days for the entire project. For example, you can schedule days when no work will be done on the project as nonworking days, such as holidays. This lesson will show you how to add nonworking days to your Project Calendar. Select Tools The Change Working Time dialog box appears. There are a number of reasons to schedule nonworking days: holidays, days when you know resources will be devoted to other projects, etc. Select the date(s) you want to change in the Select Date(s) section. You can select a single date (or dates) to make it a nonworking day, like the Fourth of July. You can also change the working time for a day of the week. For example, if people are scheduled to work four 10-hour days Monday through Thursday, you would schedule Friday as a nonworking day every week. Click the Nonworking time option in the dialog box. Notice that there are no working hours scheduled in the From: and To: columns of the dialog box, as shown in Figure 1-11. Click OK. Changing a day to a nonworking day is not permanent.
