6 hours per day

[don.lowe]

Hi
I have set one day to equal 6 hours Tools --> Options --> Calender.
When I open the Resource Usage View, work is still allocated at 8 hours
per day.
How do I make sure that the work day is limited to 6 hours?

Hello Don,

You need to modify the calendar through Tools > Change Working time
and edit the start and end time all working days to 6 hours per day.

Please see FAQ #5 "Default working hours" at
http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm

for details.

I hope this helps. Let us know how you get along.

You still need to create a 6 hour work calendar (Tools > Change Working Time),
then assign that calendar to your project resources. Otherwise, they will
continue on their Standard 8 hour calendar.

It's a bit complicated, yes.
