Setting a project's working week

Set the project working week to keep your processes on track.

Due dates in Aconex operate on the basis of working days. But what are “working days”? These are the days of the week that participants on your project work, which can differ between projects. For example, one project may work Monday to Friday. Another project may work Sunday to Thursday. 

In Aconex, you can set your project's working week so it matches when you work.

 

Things to note: 

  • There are currently two different areas to set the working week, depending on the process you want to manage.
  • Changes to the project working week for Mail, Workflows and Supplier Documents apply to processes initiated after the change was saved. Due dates for processes already started will not be updated.
  • The working week does not automatically calculate holidays. For example, if your project provides a holiday for New Years Day, you'll need to allow for that when setting the due date.
  • Default mail response times can be calculated on working days (using the project working week) or calendar days (all days of the year). 
  • Durations for Package Reviews are calculated on working days only. Calendar days are not supported.
  • Cost calendars are managed separately in Cost Administration. Learn more
