Creating calendars

In the Central Management Console (CMC), go to the Calendars management area to create new calendars and to modify existing calendars. To create a calendar, you need to provide a name and description. When the calendar is created, you can add run dates to it using the Dates tab.

Tip:    It is good practice to create a calendar for users to use as a template for creating new calendars. They can copy this template calendar and modify it as necessary. For example, you can create a default Weekdays calendar that includes all days as run dates except weekends and company holidays.

To create a calendar

1. Go to the Calendars management area of the CMC.
2. Click New Calendar.
3. On the Properties tab, type a name and description for the new calendar.

This example creates a calendar for Canadian employees that schedules an object on all weekdays except statutory Canadian holidays.

 

4. Click OK.

The new calendar is added to the system, and its Properties tab is refreshed. You can now use the Dates tab to add run dates to this calendar. For details, see Adding dates to a calendar.
