Thanks, I just discussed this with our admin. It does pose a problem to our field plans that do not work 1-8-5. The default for our database has to be 1-8-5 for mfg. Do you know if version 5 has address this?
BTW, 3-1 would have been easy with Utd. It is going to be a tough season as an arab.
Alex,
1-8-5 is 1 shift, 8 hours, 5 days. Therefore 2-10-7 is 2 shifts, 10 hours, 7 days. I dont know if this is just Canadian terminology, but it makes sense to me.
You changed all the activitys calandars, but mysteriously all the durations for the summary bars have stayed the same?
In P3e all summary durations are calculated as the number of working periods between the start and finish of the summary bar as measured on the databases default calandar. The default calandar is "ticked in the global calandar display.

sorry to let us know, no change in P6. the "duration" is determined by user perference within the "calculated dates" by defined calendar.
Which means the display value in duration is keep on changing if user preference is changed.

Version 5 is the same. No "rumors" that version 6 will be any different BUT will probably allow a work-around.
