What will happen to future assignments after I add the Public Holidays?

How do I add company-specific Holidays?

If you would like to add some company-specific Holidays to several people, add the "Custom Holiday" when creating a new public holidays group.

If you need to do it for different teams, simply create a new public holiday group and only assign those team members to it.

Adding People to Holiday Groups

From the Public Holidays page, click on the 3-dot menu and select Edit People
Click Add People
Search for the people you wish to add and click Add Selected

All future public and custom holidays for that holiday group will get automatically added to the people's schedules.

If these people previously belonged to another Holiday Group, they will be removed from the old Group, and the future holidays will not duplicate.

Why does the project margin change after rescheduling a project?

When rescheduling a project, if the margins suddenly change, it’s likely due to time offs. This could happen if time offs were included in the original time period but is no longer within the assignment's timeframe after rescheduling, or if a time off that wasn’t initially included now falls within the updated schedule.

How do I add assignments if the employee contract is 40 but over 4 days?

Set up your contract to be "Custom"and update to 10 hours per day.

Assignments that are dragged will automatically be based on the account's FTE default (often 40 hours over 5 days).

This means you'll need to remember update the total effort as it will automatically default back to the standard work week.

On the Project Planner Advanced Setting (cog-menu), turn on Show Total Effort
Once you've created an assignment- use "Hours per day" to ensure it's showing 10 hours and the total effort is 40 hours. Or if you are working 8 hours on a project, adjust the Total Effort (not Effort) to 32 hours.
