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, 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, 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. 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 Use the Base Calendar field in the Resource Sheet view to assign a base calendar.
