As part of my project I am ordering parts with multi-week lead times. I have 3 weeks upcoming that our business will be shut down but that will not affect my vendor's timeline. Can I remove a specific "task" from the project calendar and abide by a standard workweek calendar?
As far as setting the standard work week, have you looked a the project settings? Right click any column headers, then select edit project settings. You can play around with the settings in there to get what you want if I am understanding your question correctly.
For removing the task I would have to see how the sheet is set up in order to give you a better answer.
Sorry about that. I don't think I made much sense originally. I will try to explain it better.
I have attached a screenshot of my Gantt chart. In my project settings I added Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to "Non-working days" and you can see these shaded.
My task, "Receive F modules" should take 4 weeks starting on 11/21. The vendor I order these parts from is not affected by Thanksgiving or Christmas. Therefore, the finish date should be 12/18.
On my Gantt chart, however, you can see that "Receive F Modules" is affected by my scheduled non-working days.
The work around that I discovered is that I can manually figure out my 4 week lead time (12/18 delivery date) and instead of entering a duration, I select 12/18 as a finish date.
Is this the best way ? Did I do a better job in describing my problem?
There is a help article published that may solve this - basically uses elapsed time rather than something that checks holiday and non-working time. Here is link to article:

I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
I am extremely frustrated and disappointed with my current Smartsheet experience. I have paid for a Pro subscription, I am the owner and administrator of my account and sheets, and I have confirmed I am logged into the correct account. Despite this, Smartsheet is not recognizing my Pro subscription, and I am unable to…
