PRJ: Nonworking Time, Format for Timescale Change Unexpectedly
This article was previously published under Q113202
On This Page
SYMPTOMS
In the
Gantt Chart view, if the timescale is set to display nonworking time for a resource, and you then edit the name of the resource, the format and duration of the timescale may be changed as well.
CAUSE
When you edit the resource name, the timescale in the
Gantt Chart reverts to the
Standard calendar.
NOTE: This problem does not occur if you show working time for the resource in the
Calendar view, and you change the name of that resource.
WORKAROUND
After you have changed the name of the resource, select
Timescale from the
Format menu, select the
Nonworking Time table, and choose the resource name from the
Calendar list.
MORE INFORMATION
Steps to Reproduce the Behavior
- In a new project, choose Resource Sheet from the View
menu. In the Resource Name column, type
Resource1.
- From the View menu, choose Gantt Chart.
- From the Format menu, choose Timescale, and select the
Nonworking Time tab. In the Calendar box, select
Resource1, and then choose OK.

Nonworking tab is reset to
Standard.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
