Leave types

​​​Leave types are assignment types that aren't projects, like vacation or sick time. You can also use them for non-project work, such as business development. 

Leave assignments are orange on the schedule.

Add leave assignments the same way you add project assignments.

Non-working days and official holidays

You can identify scheduled days when your entire organization doesn't work. 

  • Resource Management excludes non-working days (official holidays and weekends) from your project budget.
  • No time sheet suggestions appear for non-working days. 

Non-working days appear on the Schedule as light gray vertical bands, which show how project timelines overlap with weekends or holidays.
