Calender and original durations

In the Open Standard

Hey,

Ive just set up a new project. For that project i have set up a calender where the working hours are 11hrs a day, 7 days a week. I have made this calender the activity and project default calender. I have also gone into user preferences and changed the work time to 11hrs per day.

However when i add a new activity, it automatically comes up with an 8hr duration as opposed to an 11hr duration. Also the times that are shown are 00.00 - 14.30 which isnt even 8 hours!! It should show 06:30 - 17:30 as per the calender. Obviously somethings going wrong, can anyone shed any light?

    Hi, After arranging calendar

    Hi,

     

    After arranging calendar settings;

    1- Go to Edit-->User Preferences-->Time Units--> Duration Format="Hours"

    2- Go to Admin-->Admin Preferences-->General-->Activity Duration-->Default Duration=11h

    3-Go to Admin-->Admin Preferences-->Time Periods Check the check box for "Allow users to specify the number of work hours..."

    4- Go to Edit-->User preferences-->Time Units-->Hours per Time Period; Set Hours/day=11 h

    Without step 2, you add 8h/day when you add a new activity by default.

     

    Hope this helps

    Make sure that you have

    Make sure that you have completed step 2 as i indicated. Because 'default duration' is another setting and different than 'hours/day'.
