Base calendars
A base calendar is used as a template that the project calendar,
resource calendars, or task calendars are based on. It defines the
standard working and nonworking times for the project. It specifies
the work hours for each workday, the workdays for each week, and any
exceptions, such as holidays. You can select a base calendar to use
as the project calendar or as the basis for a resource calendar. You
can also apply a base calendar to specific tasks.
RiskyProject has five default base calendars:
- Standard: The Standard base calendar reflects a traditional
work schedule: Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., with
an hour off for break.
- 24 Hours: The 24 Hours base calendar reflects a schedule
with no nonworking time. The 24 Hours calendar can be used to
schedule resources and tasks for different shifts around the clock,
or to schedule equipment resources continuously.
- Night Shift: The Night Shift base calendar reflects a
graveyard shift schedule of Monday night through Saturday morning,
11:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M., with an hour off for break.
- Morning Off: The Morning Off base calendar reflects a
schedule Monday through Friday, 1:00 P.M. to 5:00 P.M., without
breaks.
- Afternoon Off: The Afternoon Off base calendar reflects a
schedule Monday through Friday, 8:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M., without
breaks.
You can also create your own base calendar, which is useful if you
have alternative schedules for multiple resources. For example, you
might have resources working part-time, 12-hour shifts, or on
weekends.
