Changing Holiday in Enterprise Global - microsoft.public.project

Does MS Project 2007 automatically flag a holiday that falls on the weekend to the prior/following work day or is this something that I can change? Example, July 4, 2010 was marked as a holiday, but it is showing up as July 5 being a non-working day for the holiday. The same thing happens for Christmas

Amy -- No, Microsoft Project 2007 does NOT automatically flag holidays that occur on a Saturday and Sunday, and then reschedule them to the preceding Friday or following Monday. The reason the software does not do this is because every organization has different policies concerning what happens when a holiday falls on a weekend. In the 13+ years I have worked with this tool, I have seen the following company policies for weekend holidays: -- If the holiday falls on a Saturday, the preceding Friday is the recognized holiday; if the holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is the recognized holiday (this is the most common, but not every company does this). -- If the holiday falls on a weekend, the preceding Friday is always the recognized holiday. -- If the holiday falls on a weekend, the following Monday is always the recognized holiday. -- If the holiday falls on a weekend, there is no recognized holiday on the preceding Friday or following Monday. Instead, each worker gets one additional personal holiday which he/she can use as he/she wishes. Given the above scenarios, see why Microsoft Project 2007 doesn't do what you hoped it would do in regard to weekend holidays? So, what you need to do is to create additional instances of the holiday according to your company's policy. For example, Independence Day this year falls on a Sunday. So, you would need to create one additional instance of Independence Day to set July 5th as the holiday. Also, when you create your company holidays, click the Details button for each holiday and set the holiday to recur 2 or more years into the future. I personally like to create 5 years of holidays to minimize the amount of work I must do. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

Dale, In my case, in the Enterprise global the holiday is marked as July 5 vs. July 4 and I am wondering how to go about changing that. Please advise. Thanks!

Amy U -- You have to be a Project Server administrator to perform the following steps: 1. Log into PWA and then click the Server Settings link in the Quick Launch menu. 2. Click the Enterprise Calendars link in the Enterprise Data section of the Server Settings page. 3. Select the Standard calendar (assuming that is the calendar your organization uses) and click the Edit Calendar button. The system opens the enterprise Standard calendar for editing in Microsoft Project 2007. 4. Set the holidays according to your company's standards. 5. Click the OK button. Hope this helps. -- Dale A.

I am the administrator and had looked at the steps that you mentioned, however, the Standard calendar looks to be checked out and so the Edit Calendar is grayed out and I cannot choose it. Next steps? "Dale Howard [MVP]" wrote: > Amy U -- > > You have to be a Project Server administrator to perform the following > steps: > > 1.

Amy U -- If the enterprise Standard calendar is "stuck" in a checked out condition, you need to force check it in using the following steps: 1. Log into PWA with administrator permissions. 2. Click Server Settings - Force Check In Enterprise Objects. 3. Click the pick list at the top and select the Enterprise Calendars item. 4. Select the Standard calendar and click the Check In button. Also, you might find the following books helpful to you in your work with Project Server 2007: http://www.projectserverbooks.com/books/implementingadministeringprojectserver2007.aspx http://www.projectserverbooks.com/books/managingprojectsprojectserver2007.aspx Hope this helps. -- Dale A.
