Discussion

If the default project calendar does not meet the needs of your project, you can create a new project calendar. To create a new project calendar, you need to create a base calendar to reflect working and nonworking time specific to your project. Then, you need to assign the new base calendar to your project using the Project Information dialog box.

If you need to use a new project calendar, you should do so before you enter project information.
