  2. Click New box and type in Name field
  3. Select a template from dropdown list, click Add to List
  4. Click New to define a holiday and click Add or select a holiday in list to edit using Modify & Delete.
  5. The calendar is ready to assign only to this project. To make available to other projects on that workstation, check Share to all projects, note that a shared calendar cannot be later modified.
  6. Click Add to close Calendar Properties
  7. Click Save to complete calendar definition

TIP: Efficiently assign a custom calendar by setting as the default for the plan via Objects > Set Default Properties for New Objects, be sure to set calendar in each object tab.

  1. For a single object, got to the Dates tab to select from the calendar dropdown menu.
  2. To bulk edit calendars, Go to Tools > Assign Calendars to see and modify by clicking on the object’s Calendar assigned cell and setting a new calendar in the dropdown menu.
  3. To bulk edit selected objects, select objects on canvas and go to Objects > Set Properties for Selected Objects, then set in the Calendars dropdown menu in each object’s tab.
