Configure leave types and official holidays

​​​Leave types are assignment types that are not projects. Common examples are vacation and sick time. You can also use leave types to indicate other non-project work, such as business development. Leave assignments appear on the schedule in orange.

Non-working days and official holidays

You can indicate days of the year that your entire organization does not work. Resource Management excludes non-working days (official holidays and weekends) from your project budget by default. 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.
