Managing Basic Calendars#

wsman sysman sysadmin

With the help of basic calendars, you can influence the availability of resources, such as predefined days off, holidays, and business closures. Resources such as employees can enter their days off or additional workdays based on a basic calendar.

To add or edit basic calendars, go to Administration > Templates > Basic Calendar. You can change the regular non-working weekdays via “Edit”. With Add Basic Exception, you can add the following exceptions to the basic calendar:

  • General non-working day

  • Recurring non-working day

  • General working day

The first type is suitable for holidays that do not have a fixed date, such as Good Friday or Pentecost Monday. The second type is suitable for holidays that always occur on the same date, such as May 1st (Labor Day) or December 25th (Christmas). The third type is suitable for example for special shifts or weekend work.
