How to define SOLIDWORKS Manage Working Days & Hours for Projects

To help determine the total time available to complete a project stage, a SOLIDWORKS Manage Administrator can define the company default working days and hours. A user can then refine these hours based on their availability. In this way a total amount of available hours for a project can be determined.

The default hours for working days is set by the SOLIDWORKS Manage Administrator, from the Administration Options Structures Module.

Accessing Administration Options

After the Administrator edits or creates a new Project, the Administrator can either press Next until the Working Hours panel appears, or the Working Hours Panel can be selected from the pull-down, at the bottom-right corner.
