In **Work Calendars**, you can: - Verify the default work calendar and use as-is - Update the default calendar to best match the needs of your organization (single calendar for all users) - Add more calendars to assign different calendars to different users (multiple calendars) **Note:** Once multiple calendars exist, you can designate one of them as the default calendar. The default calendar is applied to all users unless otherwise set. ### Verify the Default Work Calendar A default work calendar is provided with standard settings. 1. Select your **Profile** icon in the upper-right corner of the page and then select **Account Settings** from the drop-down menu to open the **Account Settings** page. ![menu Account settings](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/menu%20Account%20settings.png?width=211&height=276&name=menu%20Account%20settings.png) 2.

Review the following defaults set for the work calendar created for your **Schedule:** - **First Day of the Week:** Monday - **Name:** Default - **Working Days:** Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (weekdays) - **Weekly Hours:** 40 - **Default:** automatically enabled on the default calendar If everything looks good, you're all set. If not, continue to **[Update a Work Calendar](https://support.audere.com/verifying-and-updating-work-calendars#UpdateWorkCalendar)** for help updating the calendar. ### Update a Work Calendar Set the work calendar options to best match the needs of your organization. ***To edit the default calendar or an added calendar in the Edit Calendar dialog:*** 1.

Enter the number of default working hours for a day to mark it as a **Working Day** or (0) zero to set the day as a **Non-Working Day.** This calculates the total **Weekly Hours** for the Schedule. 5. Once complete, select **Update** to save or **Cancel** to close the dialog without saving. After updating a work calendar, affected team members logged into the schedule page receive a live update message. Selecting **Ok** in the prompt implements the change. **Caution:** Inform team members about the calendar update before applying it. Unsaved work may be lost after applying the live update. Delete a Work Calendar In the **Edit Calendar** dialog, select the **Delete** icon to delete that work calendar. - The default calendar can't be deleted. - If you delete a calendar that has people associated to it, those people shift to the default calendar once it's deleted. --- **See Also:** [Adding a Work Calendar](https://support.audere.com/adding-a-work-calendar?hsLang=en) [Adding a New Project to the Schedule](https://support.audere.com/adding-a-new-project-alt?hsLang=en) [Personalizing the Schedule Page Display](https://support.audere.com/personalize-schedule-page-display?hsLang=en)   - [Getting Started](https://support.audere.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Welcome](https://support.audere.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#welcome) - [Quick Start Guide](https://support.audere.com/getting-started?hsLang=en#quick-start-guide) - [What's New](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#main-content) - [2026 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2026-release-notes) - [2025 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2025-release-notes) - [2024 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2024-release-notes) - [2023 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2023-release-notes) - [2022 Release Notes](https://support.audere.com/whats-new?hsLang=en#2022-release-notes) - [Projects](https://support.audere.com/projects?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing Projects](https://support.audere.com/projects?hsLang=en#managing-projects) - [Managing Phases](https://support.audere.com/projects?hsLang=en#managing-phases) - [People](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing People](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#managing-people) - [Managing Assignments](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#managing-assignments) - [Smart Suggestions](https://support.audere.com/people?hsLang=en#smart-suggestions) - [Filters and Views](https://support.audere.com/filters-and-views?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Managing Schedule Views](https://support.audere.com/filters-and-views?hsLang=en#managing-schedule-views) - [Managing Schedule Filters](https://support.audere.com/filters-and-views?hsLang=en#managing-schedule-filters) - [Manage Settings](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Personal Settings](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#personal-settings) - [Account Settings](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#account-settings) - [Multiple Accounts](https://support.audere.com/manage-settings?hsLang=en#multiple-accounts) - [FAQs](https://support.audere.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Tips and Tricks](https://support.audere.com/tips-and-tricks?hsLang=en) - [Integration](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#general) - [API Keys](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#api-keys) - [Events](https://support.audere.com/integration?hsLang=en#events) [![Audere ](https://support.audere.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Audere_Logo_Color_RGB_TM.png?width=127&height=24&name=Audere_Logo_Color_RGB_TM.png "Audere ")](https://audere.com) Copyright © 2026, Audere
