HOW CAN I MAKE CALENDER

correct!



tnx

But remember ... doing it ... u will chenge all projects!!!

to change "hours per time period" you need to be logged in as admin and go to [admin]>[admin preferences]> tab [time periods] then you can do what ever you want.



this is all! (see more ad nr: #11)

the problem can be solved by chance settings in user preferences.



Actions> go to [edit]>[user preferences] tab[time units] then under [Durations format] and set unit of time to [Hour].



you will see now that od of 24 hrs = one day.



tis problem is caused by your settings in [units per time period] you can change it in admin pref’s (primavera use this as a conversion rule for calculate differend units back to hr’s. every project is calculated to hrs in the background of the database)



hope this is usefull.

Interesting to hear that someone else has the same problem with the durations when changing calendars. In my view the calendar selected should override all other time settings. Is this a fault that should be reported to Primavera, if not done already?

You also need to be aware of the global ’Time Period’ settings under ’Admin Preferences’. The duration entered (in days) is worked out (in hours) using the Admin Preferences and converted back to a duration using the activity calendar.



For example:

Global Time periods are set to 24h/d, 7d/wk etc.

No resources, activities are task dependent.



EXAMPLE 1 - 8hrs x 5d Calendar

Duration entered=5days=24*5=120hrs. Based on 8x5 the duration will be 15days, excluding weekends (120/8)

Start=20/2/06

Finish=10/3/06



EXAMPLE 2 - 10hrs x 7d Calendar

Duration entered=5days=24*5=120hrs. Based on 10x7 the duration will be 12days, including weekends (120/10)

Start=20/2/06

Finish=3/3/06



Hope this helps.

Create a resource;



Create a resource shift with 1 shift 24 hrs;



Assign this resource to activities;



Actvity Type = Resource Dependent.



Think thats it, hope it works.

I’ve found a similar problem. I have a calendar which is 10 hrs x 7 days and cannot get the durations to calculate properly (I get strange start and finish hours, with activities spread over 3.5 instead of 2 days, for example. I’ve tried changing the settings under User Preferences, but this doesn’t really work as it affects activities on other calendars, and of course it affects other projects.



Do I have to change other calendars elsewhere, such as WBS or project? None of which makes sense - surely if I specify a calendar to an activity it should override any defaults. It works fine when I use other calendars, such as for railway possessions which are often strange hours overnight at weekends!!



Looking forward to hearing from anyone!

You will need to assign this new 24x7 calendar as the default calendar for the project for new activities to automatically have it assigned. You will also need to change the calendar assigned to each of your existing activities; either by adding the calendar column to your view and filling down, or doing a global change.
