You can specify both a default activity calendar and a default relationship calendar on the Preferences tab of the Project Properties dialog box. - Resource Calendars

Reporting calendars allow you to view time-scaled data in a barchart or histogram view using a non-linear date scale. - Adding Additional Calendars

For each calendar in a calendar file, you can define a standard workweek, that is, the normal working hours and days for the calendar. - Entering Calendar Information
