Business Hours in Templates
Business Hours settings help you to calculate the task duration based on your settings. When you choose an existing project / task template for a real time project, all its tasks, milestones, forums and comments are shifted based on the Project Start Date / Shift Date and the project's default Business Hours settings.
Calculation of task duration based on days
For a real time project, when you choose an existing Task template which has its START AFTER and DURATION set in days, based on Business Hours settings the weekends and holidays are automatically skipped while calculating the task Due date.
If you choose this template for an actual project with the Shift Date as September 14, 2013 (Saturday), the actual task Start date will fall on October 1, 2013 (Tuesday) and its Due date on October 10, 2013 (Thursday).
