This article walks you through setting up reusable master calendars (such as federal or state holidays) and using them as a foundation for project-specific calendars to ensure accurate scheduling.
Create a Master Company Calendar
From the Home screen, navigate to Calendars
Create or select an existing calendar to use as a master
You can have multiple master calendars (for example: Federal Holidays, State Holidays, 5-day work week, 6-day work week)
Hover over the name of a calendar, click on the 3 dot menu and select Edit Calendar and name it clearly to indicate it is a master calendar
Add a description so others understand its purpose
Select all non-working days (holidays and days off)
Check or uncheck specific dates as needed (e.g., Thanksgiving, Christmas, January 1)
You can configure holidays several years into the future
Click Save Calendar to finalize the master calendar
Create a Project-Specific Calendar from a Master
Duplicate the master calendar you created
Edit the duplicated calendar and rename it using the Project ID or project name
Update the description to include details about the project calendar
For example, describe the schedule's purpose as the main calendar or a trade-specific calendar
Customize any additional non-working days unique to the project
For example, mark federal holidays as non-working
Save the calendar
Assign the Project Calendar to a New Project
When creating a new project, proceed through project setup until you reach the Default Calendar step
Select the project-specific calendar you created as the project's default calendar.
Finish creating the project and the selected calendar is now applied
Note: To update the Default Calendar after your project has been created, see this help article
Notes & Best Practices
Always start with a master calendar to ensure consistency across projects
Use clear naming conventions that include work week type and holiday rules
Duplicate (don't edit) the master calendar when creating project-specific versions
