Re: Working Time Display

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi,

No problem.
Through Tools, Change Working time, New, create a new calendar having as
nonworking time the days/weeks you want to stand out.
Then through Format, Timescale, nonworking time, select that calendar to
show on the Gantt Chart
You can color it more agressively than silver there too, by the way
Hope this helps,

Please help before I tear ALL of my hair out.
I am trying to create a project for an on site installation lasting 6
months.
For 2 weeks of the period, there is a shutdown which I want to highlight
on
the Gantt chart in the form of a colour or shape, whatever, anything so
that
these two weeks will immediately stand out when the project is pinned up
on a
site office wall!
There is work ongoing during the shutdown period so I can't just make it
non-working time. Is there any way I can highlight nondefault working time
to
make it stand out?
