Hi,
My Blog reader had a problem. He made a Calendar for his Project in MS PROJECT 2013, but he forgot to apply it to the specific project. How to do it after you have a Tasks, and/or resources.
First I will crate a brand new Project Calendar:
I will create Calendar with “MY CALENDAR” name, and I will, just for example, make an exception like Holydays from 01.01.2013 to 31.01.2013:
and:
Now suppose that I have Tasks in my Project:
As you can see Start date of Task1 is 22.1.2013. Now I will assign the MY CALENDAR to the Project:
and I will get:
As you can see everything is perfect! But what if had assigned resources before I have applied this Calendar?
and:
when I apply MY CALENDAR now i will get:
Where is the difference between two pictures above? NOWHERE! If you have resources assigned to the Tasks, and you change your project Calendar it will not be applied to the tasks, because Resources has Standard Calendar assigned to them! So you should change Calendar for all resources like this:
and I will get:
Now I will add new Task to the Project:
I will add a new Resource, as well:
As you can see, because I have assigned MY CALENDAR to the whole Project every new Resource will have by default this Calendar as a Base Calendar.
Simple as that!
Regards!
