Discussion

You may have a group of resources that have schedules different from the rest of the resources in a project. Instead of individually editing the resource calendar for each resource involved, you can create a new base calendar reflecting the group’s schedule and name it accordingly. When you change the working hours for a group, the same guidelines apply as when you change the working and nonworking time for an individual resource. After you create a base calendar for a group of resources that share a common work schedule, you need to assign the calendar to those resources. When you assign a calendar in the Resource Information dialog box, the working hours do not change until you close the dialog box. You can open the Resource Information dialog box again to see that the working hours displayed match the base calendar you assigned to the resource. In addition, you can only assign a base calendar to one resource at a time.

NOTE You can also use the Base Calendar field in the Resource Sheet view to assign a base calendar.
