# Manage Weekend Scheduling and Task Colors

## Control whether weekends are included in schedule calculations and how tasks appear across company-level views

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bU78c_IRwGY?si=G0z_5OwhftPIa3BA" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%; border: none;"></iframe>

The **Schedule** tab in **Company Settings** includes two toggles:

- **Include weekends in schedule** - affects date calculations
- **Use individual schedule task colors on company-level calendar, resources, and timeline pages** - affects display only

---

#### Where to find these settings

1. Go to **Company Settings.**
2. Open the **Schedule** tab.
3. Locate the two toggles in the **Schedule** section.

**Include weekends in schedule** - Controls whether weekends are treated as working days in schedule calculations.

- **ON:** Uses a 7-day scheduling calendar (weekends can be scheduled).
- **OFF** (default): Uses a 5-day scheduling calendar (weekends are excluded).

**⚠️ Important:** When this setting is changed and **saved**, the app asks for confirmation because schedules may shift:

“All schedules will be adjusted and dates may change. Do you want to continue?”

**Use individual schedule task colors on company-level calendar, resources, and timeline pages** - Controls task color display in company-level views.

- **ON:** Each task uses its assigned schedule color.
- **OFF** (default): Tasks use standard company-level color styling.

**🎨 What this setting does NOT change**

It **only** affects visual **color display**.

It **does not** change schedule dates, durations, dependencies, or weekend calculation behavior.

---

 

#### How to update these settings

1. Toggle one or both settings as needed
2. Click **Save**.
3. If prompted, **confirm** the schedule recalculation message.

---

#### What happens after saving

- If ***Include weekends in schedule*** changed: schedule dates are recalculated in the background, and start/end dates may move.
- If only the color setting changed: **only color display updates** in company-level views.
