Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to force a task to be planned a particular day of week (sunday in my case) ?
Saturday and sunday are not working days but for special IT operations we need to work a day off.
Thanks for your replies.
Hi Xlaurent,
Thanks for this question; even if your non-working days include Saturday & Sunday, you can still manually input a task onto a Saturday or Sunday by putting in a task with a 1-day duration manually onto that date.
If your tasks have more than a 1-day duration, you'll need to input multiple 1-day-duration tasks in order to work around the non-working day settings.
Please let me know if you have further questions on this!

Thanks for your reply.
I found another solution. I have set sunday as a working day and I put in the non working days exceptions all the sundays where we do not work.

That's another great solution!
it's just half a solution. there should be the possebility to add addtionals kalendars or exceptions if only one kalendar ist possible.
if someone tells you, that they cant work in a certain periode, you are forced to solve it manualy.
add this to my long wishlist

Hello to all the community, my team is experiencing an issue with the notifications in Smartsheet. In the last hour the notifications started including only the placeholders of the columns, instead of the content of the related cell. I checked with the support and this could be related to changes in the workflow or in the…
