Project Calendar - CMiC Field

Standard Treeview path: CMiC Field > Communication Management > Project Calendar

The Project Calendar screen can be used to view meetings and other scheduled items relating to the current project. Items can also be added and shared with other project contacts.

Items can be added to the calendar, either with the [Add Action Item] button or the individual Add links on the calendar dates themselves.

Press the Month, Week, Day, or All tabs to change the calendar timescale. The date range for the selected tab can be selected with the Date LOV above the calendar.

Non-working days and the current day appear highlighted in red and blue, respectively. Non-working days can be defined on the Holidays screen in the US Payroll module (standard Treeview path: US Payroll > Setup > Local Tables > Holidays). Weekends are considered non-working by default. To designate a day as non-working or working on this screen, right-click the day and select the setting.

NOTE: Only users with the ‘Maintain non-working days’ privilege will be able to make these changes and it is only available in Project Management (standard Treeview path: CMiC Field > Security > Project Roles).
