Lesson 6.5. Assigning a Resource Calendar

Figure 6-7. The Working Time tab of the Resource Information dialog box.

By default, your resources are scheduled according to your Project Calendar, and this book has already covered how to manage resource working time. But if a number of resources need to work from different schedules, it is easiest to just assign different calendars to these resources.

1. Select the Michele Filshie resource.

   Michele will not be working Standard hours like everyone else in the project; she will be working "4 by 10": four ten-hour days per week.

   This 4 by 10 base calendar has already been added to the project. Let's assign it to this resource.

2. Click the Resource Information button and click the Working Time tab in the dialog box.

   This is the same tab where you can adjust nonworking time, such as vacation, for the resource.

3. Click the Base calendar list arrow and select 4 by 10 from the list.

   Project will now use the 4 by 10 calendar to schedule the working time for the resource, as shown in Figure 6-7.

4. Click OK.

   The resource changes to reflect the new schedule.
