Managing calendar events

A calendar event occurs on a specific date. You can add and manage calendar events.

You can also perform the following actions:

• Make the analytics engine ignore calendar events for the purposes of calculating statistics and their effects on projected data.
• Make calendar event dates appear on charts.

To add a calendar event

1. In the Manage Shift Profiles dialog box, click Calendar.
   
   
   The Manage Calendar Events dialog box is displayed:

   If you are creating an event for the first time, the Calendar Events section is blank. 

   If you have created events in an earlier version, the Calendar Events section displays those events. 

   

   Important

   For calendar events created in an earlier version of BMC AMI Capacity Reporting

   • The background is azure.
   • The Exclude from Analytics and Mark date in chart views options are selected by default.
2. In the Manage Calendar Events dialog box, enter the event date and description.

3. Clear the Exclude from analytics check box to include the event in analytics. 

   

4. Clear the Mark date in chart views check box to exclude the date from chart views.

   Important

   If you clear both the check boxes, you receive a notification that Exclude or Mark must be checked.

5. From the Marker Color list, select a color for the new event. 

6. Click Add Calendar Event, and click Accept. 

   The Manage Shift Profiles tool saves the event in the calendar. The new calendar event has the selected color as its background. If the Mark dates in chart views field is unchecked, the background color is defaulted to WhiteSmoke. If the Mark dates in chart views is checked, the background color is shown on the chart views.

   Important

   • Calendar events are also displayed on charts that span the event date.
   • Only one event per day is allowed.
7. In the Manage Shift Profiles dialog box, click Save Changes.
