Managing calendar events

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

In the 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

From the Manage Shift Profiles, 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.
In the Manage Calendar Events, enter the event date and description.
Clear the Exclude from analytics check box to include the event for analytics.
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.
From the Marker Color list, select a color for the new event.
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 is checked, the background color is shown on the chart views. If the Mark dates in chart views field is cleared, the background color is defaulted to WhiteSmoke.
Important
- Calendar events are also displayed on charts that span the event date.
- Only one event per day is allowed.
