Map Metra

Program 4: Calendars and working time

Part 4 of the Program series. Set a construction programme calendar: public holidays, half days, recurring weekly rules and a six day working week per activity, and see the finish date move. Everything shown can also be done by asking the Map Metra connector in Claude or ChatGPT.

How to

  1. 1

    The calendar

    Choose Calendar on the toolbar. Weekends are shaded as non-working days.

  2. 2

    Public holidays

    Click a date to set its working hours. Zero hours makes it a non-working day, and the note says why.

  3. 3

    Unusual hours

    A day can also have unusual hours. Christmas Eve becomes a half day, with four hours of work.

  4. 4

    Recurring rules

    The letters under Recurring set a rule for every week. Here, every Friday is cut to six hours, and the finish moves to the sixteenth of February.

  5. 5

    Working week

    Each activity can also follow its own working week, in the Working week column. Put the external walls on a six day week, so the bricklayers work Saturdays.
