There are three
types of calendars in Microsoft Project:
|
Project calendar |
This is the
main calendar that controls when tasks are worked on and when
resources work on tasks. |
|
Resource calendar |
Each
resource can have its own calendar to reflect its hours of
availability. |
|
Task calendar |
Sometimes a
task will need to have its own calendar to reflect its duration;
for example, if a machine will run 24 hours a day. |
There are also three
base calendars, which are like calendar templates.
|
Standard |
Working time
is set Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, with an hour (noon
to 1 pm) set aside for lunch. |
|
Night Shift |
Working time
is set Monday through Friday, 11 pm to 8 am, with an hour (3 am
to 4 am) set aside for lunch. |
|
24 hours |
Working time
is every day and hour of the week; useful for resources (such as
machines) that run constantly. |
