We’re trying to use workflow, but our workweek is only 4 days. Is there a way to update our workload settings so that our capacity is spread across 4 days instead of 5?

I believe you can’t, and I think there is an existing thread about this in the forum, cc [@moderators](https://forum.asana.com/groups/moderators)

Hi @Liz_Telschow and thanks for reaching out!

As @Bastien_Siebman mentioned, this is not possible at the moment.

Bastien, I can’t find any existing thread on this topic, so I’ve converted this one into a #productfeedback to allow other folks to vote for this feature.

Could be on thread with [Workload taking Weekends into account](https://forum.asana.com/t/workload-taking-weekends-into-account/67057) 🤷‍♂️

This would be highly useful, but also needs to be set at a user level to accomodate varying schedules.

My team works a 4 day week. This is impossible to show in asana workload so we have had to reduce our capacity to an approximate average but this is making planning difficult.  
How can one set the days for which employees are working and allocate workload based on that. This would also be useful for leave as well as part time workers.  
As a company Asana claims to support a 4 day week - but as far as i can tell, there is no flexibility within their tools to accommodate this.

You can either reduce capacity, or keep it normal but add a task for each off day. You can use my [Recurring Task](https://minimalist-work.com/asana/recurring-tasks) tool for this.

Thanks for your idea, @Bastien_Siebman.  
However, I can’t figure out how Asana sent us a newsletter on August 30 encouraging us to implement the 4-day work week when the app doesn’t support setting the 4-day week in the workload 🤷🤷.
