Days Off - Profitbase/PowerBI-visuals-Gantt GitHub Wiki

The Days Off feature allows you to define custom holidays and non-working dates that impact your project schedule. You can highlight these days visually on your timeline or exclude them entirely from task duration calculations to ensure accurate scheduling.

How to Configure Days Off

Step 1: Open the Days Off editor in Edit mode

  1. Click the ellipsis (...) in the top-right corner of the Gantt visual container and select Edit.
  2. In the edit workspace, select the Days off options card.

Step 2: Add custom holidays

To add non-working days (such as national holidays or shutdown periods), click the + (plus) sign and select the dates from the calendar dropdown.

You can customize the following options:

  • Highlight Weekends: Toggle to visually shade weekend columns (Saturday and Sunday) on your timeline.
  • Exclude Days Off from Task Duration: If enabled, weekends and custom holidays are excluded from task length calculations. For example, if a 4-day task starts on a Thursday, it will skip Saturday and Sunday and finish on Tuesday instead of Sunday.
  • Weekend marker color: Choose the background fill color used to highlight weekends and non-working days on the timeline.
  • Show Holidays Title: Toggle to show or hide the text labels for your custom holidays on the timeline.
