Defining the Company Work Week and Calendar

 

The company calendar is specific for each company. The company work week defines the days of the week that the company is eligible to work. The schedule baseline and projected dates calculate based on the valid number of days within a work week, also taking into account "days off/holidays" marked within the calendar.

 

Note

It is recommended to create the calendar(s) first, in order to populate the Company Calendar drop-down menu. See Setup > Workday Calendars. If a calendar is created but does not show up in the Company Calendar drop-down menu, it may be necessary to click the Refresh button.

 

 

Note

The work week may also be set at the activity, trade, phase, job, area, division, or company level. When calculating dates within schedules, the Scheduling module looks for the work week based on a specific hierarchy, which starts by looking at the activity level then works its way up. Within this hierarchy, the first work week that is found is used to calculate the dates within the schedule.

 

To define company work week and calendar:

  1. From the Setup menu, select Company > Calendar tab.
    Or, click the  Company icon on the Setup toolbar and select theCalendar tab. The seven days of the week are listed at the top, with the calendar selection below.  

 

 

  1. Click the associated checkbox for each day to be included in the company work week. If the checkbox for a day of the week is checked, the day will be included in the work week (i.e., counted as a working day). If the checkbox for a day is blank, the day will not be included in the work week.

  2. Click on the Company Calendar drop-down menu and select the appropriate calendar. The work week days selected will adhere to the calendar selected.

  3. Click on Save to save any changes.

  4. Continue with setting up the folder preferences for the company, or click the Close button to exit the screen.
