7.5hr working day?

Hi Beck,

Yes you can set the calendar for 7.5hrs default for a work day.

First Create a global calendar with 7.5 hrs working day. Then click this calendar or set as default.

Thanks for your reply Rodel..

I had already done that, but I suppose my question is more because when I assign a resource to a 1 day activity, it assigns that resource with 8hrs of work and budget - even though the calendar for that resource is also set as default 7.5hr/day.. I can override this and type in 7.5 in the units column, which gives the right budget, but it still displays 8 (because of rounding?) in the units column.. Is there a way to correct this and show the decimal place in the units field?..

Thanks again!

Beck

u have to change in project over view to 2 decimal places , i hope this will solve the rounding problem

Beck,

Deb is correct. I forgot to mention that you need to set the decimal on duration format. Edit-> Users Preferences... under your project menu.
Select Time Unit Tab and change the duration format to 1 or 2 decimal. If this is not set the calculation still based on 7.5 hours but shown as 8hrs round off. You will notice only on the total durations.

Rodel
