The Primavera P6 application supports three types of calendars: P6 uses your calendar assignments for levelling resources, scheduling, and tracking activities. For example, based on its calendar, a resource might not be available or, if the resource is available, the activity might not fit the calendar requirements. You can also assign calendars to each resource and activity to determine time constraints in a uniform way. You can establish an unlimited number of calendars to accommodate different work patterns. You can also specify public holidays, recognised holidays, company’s RDOs and project-specific work/non-workdays. Primavera P6 CalendarsĬalendars enable you to define available workdays and work-hours in a day. In this extract from our Primavera Support clients’ newsletter we give you an overview of calendars within P6 and provide a few answers on some common questions.

When you think about it, no one really teaches you how to use them properly and as a result they’re most likely not being used efficiently. It surprises me that many people don’t really know how to use a calendar effectively within Primavera P6.
