Consider user time off in task durations - how it works?

[ab_cdef]

Hi

I have a project where the project-level schedule is set to A.
At the user level, the assignee has a schedule set to B.
The project is configured with "Consider user time off in task durations" enabled.

My understanding is that for a task with this setup (one task, one assignee), the task start and end dates would take both schedule A and schedule B into account.

In other words, if schedule A includes US holidays and schedule B includes UK holidays, the task would start on a day that is not a holiday in either country.

However, in my testing this does not seem to be the case.

Am I misunderstanding how this works?

here’s a quick tutorial on time off:

I think for what you want, you would need to set it up in the Setup area:

Thanks for sharing the documentation! @skyehansen @Madalyn_Destafney 
I’ve followed the steps as outlined.

In Workfront Setup, Calculate Resource Availability is set to use the user's schedule.

In this case:

• The project is using a US schedule
• The task has only one assignee, who is on a UK schedule

When the project is generated from the template, I would expect the task to account for holidays from both the US and UK schedules, meaning any holidays in either schedule should be skipped when calculating the task’s start or end date. However, this doesn’t seem to be happening.

I’ve been racking my brain trying to figure out what else could be affecting this, so any insights would be really appreciated.

I’d take a look at this article explaining schedules and their hierarchy - user vs project schedule, users on the same tasks with different schedules, etc.
