Book an interval on a resource

Assigning a resource to a project or task doesn’t by itself block out days in the calendar — a booking (interval) does. An interval is a concrete date range where a resource works on a specific task.

Prerequisites

The resource needs to already be assigned to the task you want to book days on. Expand the project until you can see the resource under the task.

Steps

1. Turn on creation mode

Click the + icon in the toolbar at the top of the Gantt chart (or press N). The button turns blue, and a tooltip shows “Afslut oprettelse — N eller Esc” (Exit creation), so you know it’s active.

2. Click the start and end day

Click the resource’s row on the day the booking should start. Then click again on the day it should end. The interval is created immediately — no confirmation needed.

Note

Weekends aren’t counted in the hours (default 7 hours/day), but still show as part of the interval’s date span — which is why the bar can look two-toned if the period spans a weekend.

3. Edit or move the interval

• Move: drag the whole bar to a different spot.
• Extend/shorten: hover over the bar and drag the handle at either end.
• Edit details: click the bar to open Rediger interval (Edit interval), where you can adjust hours/day and add a comment.

Exit creation mode again with the + button, N, or Esc.

Next steps

• Task dependencies — make tasks wait on each other, so a booking automatically shifts when another task moves.
