Calendar

There are many different types of calendar, and many different uses. A calendar can be defined for resources, for phases and milestones, and for financial documents.

It is possible to mark days that are worked and days that are not.

💡

For example, we can have a French calendar with public holidays such as May 8 or July 14, and create a new calendar specific to Alsace-Moselle, which has additional public holidays. You can also mark all Wednesdays as non-working days.

There are therefore 3 calendar elements:

  • the platform calendar, used by default for all platform users, which defines, for example, days not worked as public holidays.
  • the hierarchical calendar, a calendar specific to a structure perimeter
  • the resource calendar, a calendar specific to the resource (part-time management, exceptional absences, etc.). The calendar can be adapted by the resource itself, unlike the platform and hierarchical calendars.

💡

Applying a hierarchical calendar to a resource : If a hierarchical calendar (defined as a resource calendar) is attached to the same structure as the resource, it is applied automatically. Note that if a platform calendar exists, it must be empty, as they are cumulative.

Platform calendar

A platform calendar is a calendar that applies to the entire platform: everything that is common to resources/milestones/phases/financial items.

Hierarchical calendar A hierarchical calendar applies to resources within a structure. For example, if a Geography structure exists, then a German calendar (with specific public holidays) can be associated with the structure value structures Germany structure value . Users attached to this structure level (and their associated resources) will then be able to have an appropriate calendar.

To apply it, therefore, we need to work not on the application of calendars to users, but on the structure link of the hierarchical calendar and on the structure link of resources (possible in mass modification). For the calendar to be applied, the structure link must be shared (calendar and resource) on the reference structure .

🚩

To the left of each page is a period list pane. ➡️ PeriodsPeriods You can modify the calendar for another specific period by clicking on its blue label in the list. The pane can be enlarged or reduced in size, and closed.

💡

If no period is selected, then the active period will be selected.

On calendars, days worked are highlighted in blue and days not worked in orange. It is possible to create specific rules for a given year or for all years. (Example: January 1st is defined as not worked for all years).
