Change Work Time?

How do I change the work time from a 40 hrs week down to 35 hrs per week across all my projects?

Thanks,

Sanna

RE: Change Work Time?

Hi Sanna

Thank you for your question. Starting from a new blank project go to Tools > Options > calendar

set the modify the default start and finish times, along with the hours per day, days per week and month so that you get a 35 hour week.

Click on set as default and close the dialog box. Close the current temporary project without saving it. Now create a new blank project. The settings in options will apply. If you create a 1 day task project will use the hours per day setting and slot it into a calendar using the default start and finish times you set.

I hope this helps - let us know if you have any further questions.

Kind regards,

Andrew

MS Project tip:

Set default task type - Project 2010

a. In Project, click on the File tab
b. Select Options from left hand side
c. Click on Schedule to set the scheduling options
d. Set the Default Task type box to your chosen option
i. Generally if you plan/estimate your projects using durations you should use fixed duration, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven, if you plan/estimate with person hours use fixed work, or for plans estimated with the proportion of resources time use fixed units, and untick the box New tasks are effort driven)
