BigPicture Allow working in weekend but display weekends and holidays in Gantt chart

unknown

Is there a way to allow issues to be planned in weekends and holidays but to still keep the weekends and holidays visible in the gantt chart?

I normally try to avoid planning tasks in weekends but sometimes it is inevitable. Therefore I want to allow issues to be placed in weekends. However, if I make saturdays an sundays working days the gantt chart in BigPicture does not mark the weekends anymore. So now I have to check a calendar to see which dates are saturdays and sundays. I would prefer to still see the grey shading even though I set saturdays and sundays as working days. The same for holidays. Is this possible?

Hi,

We do not have such functionality yet, and no one even asked for it, but it seems to be a good idea.

Please raise a Service Desk ticket right here so that we could create a feature request ticket for you.

Although, there is a workaround that can help you.

There is a rule, that allows tasks to be planned on weekends and holidays when the task is a parent. When there is a need to plan such task on i.e. weekend, you can indent an artificial task under that task and change the parent task mode to 'Auto top-down'

I hope you find this workaround useful.

Cheers,

Patryk
