Setting up calendars

When people work affects when tasks can start and how long they take. A project calendar defines the working and nonworking time for your entire project. You can also set up additional calendars to define other work schedules like part-time, work shifts, ordifferent hours on different days. The first thing to do to is to set up a project-wide calendar. To do that on the Project tab click Change Working Time. Now Project comes with a calendar called Standard and it's set up Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with an hour for lunch. You can see that here on the right side of this dialog box. You can also tell that Standard is the Project Calendar, because it says so in the For calendar box. The Work Weeks tab has a default work week and you can see what the hours are by clicking Details. Here you can see it says Details for Default so you know which Work Week you're looking at. If I select Monday through Friday, you can actually see in light text the 8 to 5 with an hour for lunch…
