A new Icon has been added to the Schedule Toolbar for Project Calendar . A user now has the ability to manage the Project Calendar for Projects to be one of the following options:

 

  • 5 working days (exclude 2day weekend must be 2 continuous days)
  • 6 working days (exclude1day weekend)
  • 7 working days (include weekends)

 

Note: User can determine which 2 continuous days of the week to be considered weekends e.g. Friday and Saturday or Saturday and Sunday.

 

The calendar enhancement also includes change to schedule start and end dates for tasks created in PFHQ tool with a predecessor.
