Calendars

Spreading budgets, summarizing costs, and reporting depend on calendars to determine the dates and time spans of the summarized costs.

The first step is to create the primary calendar with calendar periods. The date and time spans determine how budget is spread across reporting periods, how costs are summarized, and how the information is displayed in reports.

The calendar periods can be different lengths as long as they span the entire duration of the project. When you add information to a project, it is stored in the calendar period buckets defined by the calendar. It's a best practice to extend your calendar beyond the expected finish date, to account for potential slippage.
