Creating calendars

You can create calendars to define working time with a start date and an end date, as well as shifts. A calendar can also specify non-working time, such as weekends, holidays, and shutdowns.

Before you begin

Your default insert site must be in the organization for which you want to create the calendar. To check and change your default insert site, use the Profile > Default Information link in the toolbar.

About this task

The calendars that you create are for the organization of your default insert site.

Procedure

  1. In the Calendars application, click New Calendar.
  2. Type a name for the calendar.
  3. Optional: Type a description for the calendar.
  4. Specify the dates on which you want the calendar to start and end.
  5. Save your changes.

What to do next

You created a calendar without shifts, work periods, holidays, or other details. Use the Define/Apply Shifts action to add shifts and the Define/Apply Non-Working Time action to add holidays and other non-working time. Use the People application to change person availability and the Assignment Manager application to change availability. In the calendar header, you can change the calendar description, start date, and end date.
