Gantt holiday calendar settings

What is the holiday calendar?

In WBS Gantt-Chart:

  • Regular (default) holidays are shown in gray.

  • Project holidays are shown in green.

Holidays are taken into consideration when project start and finish dates are set. All holidays are managed in WBS Gantt-Chart's holiday calendar.
