Utilizing Business Days Instead of Calendar Days

[Jim_Pederson]

Hi,

Is there a plan to utilize business days on due dates instead of calendar dates?

It would be helpful to be able to choose business days to say this task repeats and has a due date by business day 10 each month.

Hey @Jim_Pederson,

that is probably very difficult to set up as every country (and even just states) have different public holidays.

What is available right now is that you can set the start of the week via profile settings

And in the timeline view when you shift your due dates for dependencies you can set it to avoid weekends

There are a bunch of feedback request threads you might be interested upvoting:

Change non-working days in asana calendar

Hi asana team, Will you add a feature that will allow to set other non-working days instead of Saturday and Sunday and mark holidays and vacation times? With the current timeline the estimations are always wrong due to this matter. Thanks, Tomer

Help - Remove weekends from task durations?

Hello, I need to shift multiple due dates in a project timeline, and our organization only works Monday - Friday. Is there a global setting where I can exclude weekends when setting start and due dates? When I bulk-select dates to move the whole project back by a few days, the start and end dates for items are now falling on weekends. Thanks

Now when you create project templates you can also tick the box to skip weekends

And for repeating tasks you can also set them up to tick the days to count and skip weekends this way but not business days per se as they are different everywhere.
