Changing workdays and non-workdays

While in Gantt view, you can switch workdays to non-workdays (or vice versa) for a single task or all tasks across a specific date. When you select a day within a task, Sage 100 Contractor switches that day within the task to the opposite status. When you select an entire day, Sage 100 Contractor switches the status of all tasks within that date.

Suppose that you are building the foundation forms for a home and the forms will not be completed until Monday. However, rain is forecast next Tuesday. To avoid penalties for any potential delays further along in the project, you decide to accelerate the schedule to finish building the forms and pour the concrete by Saturday. When the rain comes Tuesday, carpenters can begin the rough framing.

In the schedule, you click the Saturday between the two tasks to change the Saturday status for the tasks Form & Reinforcing and Pour Foundation from non-workday to workday. Alternately, you can change the status of an entire day by clicking it. In the example, if you change the Saturday from a non-workday to a workday, the status of each task is changed.

To change workday status:

1. Open 10-3 Schedules.
2. Using the data control, select an existing schedule and click the Grid/Gantt button.
3. On the Mode menu, click Workday/Non-Workday.
4. To change the status of a day within a task, click the day on the taskbar.
5. To change an entire day, click the day at the top of the Gantt view.
