Scheduling Calendar

The Scheduling Calendar allows you to add and define scheduling periods for your company. Scheduling periods are subdivisions of a company year that serve resource scheduling needs, typically established in alignment with months of the year.

Each scheduling period has a collection of scheduling dates. Scheduling dates separate the associated scheduling period into more granular segments, typically in alignment with the weeks of the year.

There can only be one scheduling calendar for the system.
