Unable to change "Start of Working" day
Answered
Hi,
im planing an Disaster Recovery Plan (Projectplan) with mindmanger 21. In the Options i have all days marked as working day and 24 hours a day.
But i'm unable to change "start of Working Day" in Gantt Pro under Options.
Can anyone help ?
Yes - this behaviour and the "Some options are locked while charts are displayed" message you get with the second screen are hard to figure out, especially as you only get this dialogue box when you click on Options on the Gantt chart ribbon...
However, the main problem is that you are attempting to change the "Work hours per day" setting under File Options. This is a global setting, and will set the number of work hours for any new maps you create after you make the change. However, it won't change the working hours for any existing maps. To change the work hours in an existing map you will have to go to the Task Info tab in the map view for that specific map, click on Calendar & task options then change the "Work hours per day" setting there to 24.
If you now go to the Gantt chart, click on Options and untick "Use the default options for this map" the Start of working day should now be 12:00 AM. If you tick "Use the default options" for this map the Start of working day will revert to a time that is consistent with the global setting for the length of the working day when the map was created. Ticking and unticking this box should switch between these two alternate starting times in the Gantt chart Options dialogue box.

Many thanks. This article helps me a lot.
But there is one more question:
Now I've the starting time an 00:00. But nevertheless the "Work hours per day" should be 8 hours a day. Is there also a way how to configure this?
