Linking project plans
Can you link projects which have different hours on the standard calendar? For example, can I insert my project plan based on a 35 hour working week into our master plan based on a 40 hour week?
RE: linking project plans
Hi Nicola
Thank you for your question. You can insert a project set to have 7 hours per day into a master project plan that runs with 8 hours per day. The settings in the master project prevail so that a 1 day task that looks fine on the 7 hours per day project will appear as having a duration of .88 of a day in the master project.
It's worth testing this out with a couple of temporary files to see if this will be useful to you or not.
The setting that controls this can be found in Tools > Options >Calendar then look for the hours per day setting.
I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any further questions.
Kind regards,
Andrew
