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:

Anyway we can make this view only for security purposes? We would like to prevent users from sending responses to other users by accident.
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?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
