Customizing the project calendar

A project calendar is used to define working and non-working days to suit project-specific requirements. The project calendar is a copy of the base calendar that is assigned to the project and contains the working and non-working days specified in the base calendar. You can add new exceptions, and modify the exceptions defined in the project calendar. You cannot modify the exceptions that are defined in the base calendar.

Before you begin
