Set Custom Business Calendars and Holidays for Global Teams

Set Custom Business Calendars and Holidays for Global Teams

Managing a project across diverse teams means accounting for more than just tasks and deadlines; it means acknowledging how and when each team actually works. Users might follow different working days or observe region-specific holidays that cannot be accounted for in a single business calendar.

With the Business Calendar in Zoho Projects, you can create multiple schedules, with custom working days, breaks, and holiday lists. You can also associate the calendar with the portal users. This ensures task duration, work hours, reminders, and reports reflect real-time user availability. This helps project managers plan and manage projects with accurate schedules.

For example, in a project, teams follow different schedules from different regions; some work standard weekdays, others on staggered shifts.

To account for these differences, create separate Business Hours for each schedule, define the working days, and set custom start and end times. You can also include break duration and associate the appropriate Holiday List. Once created, associate users with their respective schedules and mark one as the default for your portal.



This ensures better schedules, fewer delays, and improved resource management.
