    You can expand or narrow down the list of regional calendars by providing search criteria into the filter fields and clicking Search.

  4. On the Modify Regional Calendar page, select a day or range of days by using Shift + click or Ctrl + click.

  5. Click the Non-Working day option to mark those days as non-working.

    Optionally, select a Reason and type a Description.

  6. Click Save.

    The regional calendar is set. Non-working days appear as non-working days for resources and organization units using the regional calendar.

Specify system default regional calendar

The System Default Regional Calendar is used for the scheduling of request work items. All other entities must select a region or inherit one, and thus use the regional calendar set for that region.

There can be only one System Default Regional Calendar, which is set during installation or upgrade of the PPM. This setting can be changed if needed.

To set the system default regional calendar:

  1. Open the Manage Regional Calendars page. For details, see Set up a regional calendar.

  2. On the Manage Regional Calendars page, click Set System Default Regional Calendar to open the Set System Default Regional Calendar page. This page displays all enabled regional calendars. The current System Default Regional Calendar is selected.

  3. Select the desired regional calendar and click Done.
