What is the calendar?

Holidays are taken into consideration when project start and finish dates are set. All holidays are managed in WBS Gantt-Chart's holiday calendar.
The calendars set in the Global calendar setting can be used in all gantts.

Working time setting

Settings

Hours per day

The number of working hours per day. This follows Jira's global settings.

Working Time

The length will be determined according to the Hours per day and Break Time settings.

• If the Start time of this setting is the same as the Start time of the task, the time will be omitted and only the date will be displayed in the Start column of the WBS/Gantt Chart view.

• If the Finish time of this setting is the same as the Finish time of the task, the time will be omitted and only the date will be displayed in the Finish column of the WBS/Gantt Chart view.

Break Time

Set the time to be treated as a break in the work hours.

Duration unit

This setting is used to set the display unit of the Duration column displayed in the WBS/Gantt-Chart view.

When "day" is selected, the duration of the task will be displayed in days according to the settings of Hours per day, Working Time, and Break Time.
