It is possible for Global and\/or Project Calendars to have the same Calendar Name yet have different calendar settings. Detecting this type of change is extremely difficult and time consuming using P6 alone.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Change Calendar Settings report compares the 2 Project Calendar Settings and identifies any added and deleted Calendar assignments. In addition, the report lists the Calendar Name, Type of Calendar used (i.e. Project or Global), Hours per Day setting, and Count (# of activities using that Calendar). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Added Calendars have no Control Project ID Calendar Name match while deleted Calendars have no Modified Project Id Calendar match. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the illustration below:  Line Item #4 \u2013 A Global Calendar was assigned to 1 activity. Line Item #3 &#8211; The Calendar Name, Type and Hrs\/Dy match exactly, however (indicated by the Asterisk)  there was a change in the underlying Calendar Data set. In other words, for example, one or more days were changed from a Standard to Non-work day or visa-versa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"309\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/report-44-changed-calendar-settings-1024x377.jpg?resize=840%2C309\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1192\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/report-44-changed-calendar-settings.jpg?resize=1024%2C377&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/report-44-changed-calendar-settings.jpg?resize=300%2C110&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/report-44-changed-calendar-settings.jpg?resize=768%2C283&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.foxquestsystems.net\/foxblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/report-44-changed-calendar-settings.jpg?w=1130&amp;ssl=1 1130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changes to Calendar Data may also involve other settings.
