Display Calendars

Ways to access

  • Click in a time-distance view and click the Display tab in the Object Properties pane.

Display calendar breaks for activities in a different line style

Display activity breaks at non-working time

Because a calendar is automatically placed on its own calendar layer, simply change the layer order so that the calendar layer is above the activity layer. To avoid completely hiding activities when doing this, make the colors of working times/working days transparent.

  1. In the Object Properties pane > Display tab, check the background color of the calendar for the chosen Display mode. ...

  2. Click the Layer tab and move the Calendar layer above the activity layer using the Move Up and Move Down icons on the right side.
