Change in CPP Schedule Planner Sheet

The new City Working Days (CWD) system applies to workspaces provisioned or created after Jan 27, 2025.

Key Updates:

  • City holidays of year 2025 - 2027 are set in Schedule Planner.

  • Any start or end dates that fall on a city holiday will be shifted to the next working day.

  • Durations are now calculated in working days (Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and holidays, i.e. 14 calendar days before is equivalent to 10 working days now, because of excluding the weekends).

  • Notes in the right column of the sheet have been updated to reflect these changes.

  • The Start Date cell in the Project Start row is now highlighted in bright yellow as a reminder.

Important Notes (for workspaces created before January 27, 2025):

  • If your project is in early phases (Ph 1-4) then contact CPMS to re-create / update workspaces in order to acquire this new feature.
