[Alexander Barvinsky]

Hi all,
I want to check in this calendars business trips or something like that.
What is the best practicies to define different calendars for resources? Do
I need to define for each of resources they own calendars or there it's not
reasonable? And I do not ant to use administrative tasks

TIA

Each resource in the Enterprise Resource Pool has his/her own personal
calendar. On this calendar, you can enter nonworking time such as vacation
or sick leave. You can also edit the resource's calendar to show a unique
working schedule for the resource, such as when someone works 4 days per
week at 10 hours/day. If you have multiple resources that work the same
unique schedule, and their schedule is different from the working schedule
shown on the Standard calendar, then you should probably create a custom
calendar for those resources. For example, if you have 100 people whose
work schedule follows the Standard calendar, and 12 people who work the 4x10
schedule, I would create a custom calendar for thsoe people and call it
something like 4x10. I would then set that 4x10 calendar as the Base
Calendar for each of those 12 people, which simplifies the process greatly.
Does this answer your question? Let us know.

Thank you, Dale. I don't know before about personal calendars for
resources which are available for modifying by default. But I still have a
questions about it. How to use them? I mean where I can open calendar for
resource for editing?

Open the Enterprise Resource Pool and check out the resources whose calendar
you wish to edit. Double-click the name of the resource and in the Resource
Information dialog for the selected resource, you can see their calendar and
enter non-working time on the calendar. Hope this helps.
