How do I define the working days to calculate item durations?

Steps

  1. Go to BIM › Config › General Config › BIM Calendar and click New.
  2. Type a Code (for example, "M-F" or "M-S").
  3. Check the days that are worked: Monday to Friday come checked; Saturday and Sunday, not.
  4. Open the budget, ST tab, and in Type Duration choose Date.
  5. In the same tab choose the Calendar.
  6. When you change the start and end dates of an item, its Duration becomes the number of working days between them.
Warning

The calendar only applies with Type Duration = Date. With Performance the duration comes from quantity ÷ performance, and with Manual it is not recalculated.

If the budget has no calendar, the duration counts all calendar days, holidays and weekends included.

The calendar does not know holidays: it only distinguishes days of the week.
