Assign a Calendar to a Project Resource

Resource calendars determine when a resource is available to work, including their standard work week, time periods, holidays, and exception time. A resource's Default Units/Time and Max Units/Time values are measured against the time periods configured in the resource's calendar.

Resource calendars are used for leveling resources, scheduling a project, and allocating work when the activity to which the resource is assigned has a type of Resource Dependent. If the activity type is not Resource Dependent, the resource's calendar will not be used.

Calendars are added and configured in the Calendars dictionary.

To assign a calendar to a project resource:

  1. Navigate to the project resources page
  2. In the table, select the resource.
  3. Select the General detail window.
  4. In the Calendar field, select Select.
  5. In the Select Calendar dialog box, in the Filter By list, select Project to view calendars available at the project level, or select Workspace to view calendars available at the workspace level.
  6. Select the calendar, and then select OK.
  7. All changes made to this page are saved automatically.
