Calender and original durations

Hey,

Ive just set up a new project. For that project i have set up a calender where the working hours are 11hrs a day, 7 days a week. I have made this calender the activity and project default calender. I have also gone into user preferences and changed the work time to 11hrs per day.

However when i add a new activity, it automatically comes up with an 8hr duration as opposed to an 11hr duration. Also the times that are shown are 00.00 - 14.30 which isnt even 8 hours!! It should show 06:30 - 17:30 as per the calender. Obviously somethings going wrong, can anyone shed any light?

Hi Anthony

Do you have any resource allocations with different calendars?

Best regards

Make sure that you have completed step 2 as i indicated. Because 'default duration' is another setting and different than 'hours/day'.

Hi,

Ive done all of the above but the new activities still come up with 8 days! Any other suggestions welcome!

Hi,

 

After arranging calendar settings;

1- Go to Edit-->User Preferences-->Time Units--> Duration Format="Hours"

2- Go to Admin-->Admin Preferences-->General-->Activity Duration-->Default Duration=11h

3-Go to Admin-->Admin Preferences-->Time Periods Check the check box for "Allow users to specify the number of work hours..."

4- Go to Edit-->User preferences-->Time Units-->Hours per Time Period; Set Hours/day=11 h

Without step 2, you add 8h/day when you add a new activity by default.

 

Hope this helps
