Creating Personal Nonworking Time

A resource manager or supervisor creates personal nonworking time in Team Manager. (Supervisors must have the Team Manager enterprise role in order to access the Team Manager tab.) The nonworking time represents time a team member cannot work on assigned tasks. When you create personal nonworking time, you assign it to at least one team member (if you assign it to more than one person, an exception is created for each person).

Note: Adding or removing nonworking time will affect different task types in different ways. For more information, see About Personal Nonworking Time.

To create personal nonworking Time:

Open the Team Manager application.
In the Resource Allocations pane (bottom of the page) click the name of the resource for whom you created the nonworking time.
The Member Utilization window for that resource displays.
Note: If you do not see the resource, use the Show filter to change the resources listed in the Resource Allocations pane.
From the Actions tab, click Create Personal Nonworking Time
Type the name in the Nonworking Time Name field.
Note: Names cannot include an ampersand (&).
Type a start date for the nonworking time in the Start Date field, or click the calendar icon and select a date.
Note: Date formats must be valid for your cultural settings (mm/dd/yyyy or dd/mm/yyyy). For more information about culture settings, see Editing Your User Settings.
The End Date is automatically filled with the value from Start Date. If the nonworking time is more than one day, type the correct end date or click the calendar icon and select a date.
By default, the length of the nonworking time is All Day. If the nonworking time you are creating has a different length, select the correct length from the Hours per day list.
The resource to whom you are assigning the nonworking time is pre-filled in the Assign Personal Nonworking Time to users field. To assign the nonworking time to other resources you manage, click the Selector icon and select the resource(s) to whom you want to assign the nonworking time.
Note: When you assign nonworking time to more than one resource, a nonworking time exception is created for each resource.
You can notify other enterprise users (users who are not assigned the nonworking time) by clicking Browse Member Directory and selecting them.
To create a custom message, select Type Custom Notification Message? and type your message in the Notification Messagefield.
Click Save & Close to save the item and close the window, Save & Add Another to save this nonworking time and add another, or Cancel to close the window without creating the personal nonworking time.
