Resource Management

For more information about plan types and included capabilities, see the Smartsheet Plans page.

By default, a work week in Resource Management is five days. The work week begins on Monday, making Saturday and Sunday non-working days.

Your team may work a four day work week with team members unavailable Friday through Sunday. You may have team members working every day of the week. Some companies consider Friday and Saturday as non-working days with Sunday as the start of the work week. You can adjust the length of the work week according to your needs.

To set your work week:

  1. On the navigation bar, click Settings and then click Account Settings. 
  2. On the Account Settings page, scroll down to Time Tracking. 
  3. Enter the appropriate details for your work week under Work Hours in a Day, Work Days in a Week, and Start of Work Week.
  4. At the bottom of the Account Settings page, click Save. 

 

On the Schedule, non-working days are displayed as light gray vertical bands. Resource Management does not include non-working days—Official Holidays or weekends—in availability calculations.
