Calendars
Calendars dictate which weekdays are non-working days and which are normal working days.
As you enter the Calendars view you can see all the current calendars in your Silverbucket and also see which dates are set as non-working days in those calendars.
"+ADD CALENDARS" in the top-right allows you to add a new calendar to the environment. When you click this button, you have two options:
.1 Insert a "Basic" calendar which is a calendar that automatically has the selected country's holiday dates selected based on our calendar service providers data - in addition to Saturdays and Sundays being non-working days.
.2Insert a "Custom" calendar. This calendar can be named anything you want and with this option you can either start fresh with a calendar that only has Saturdays and Sundays set as non-working days OR once again select a template calendar based on some countries' holidays.
As you click "Save Changes" a new calendar is created and can be immediately seen and selected in the top-left of the view.
Adding specific dates as non-working days
To add a new day as non-working day, simply click on the date when you have the desired calendar highlighted. When a date is colored blue, it is selected as a non-working day and when the color is grey, it is considered a normal working day.
If you manually add a date as non-working day, make sure to add it to all the years necessary - selecting a date only makes it a non-working day for the viewed year.
As you click on a date, it is immediately considered as a non-working day for the people that have the selected calendar set for them. No additional confirmation or saving is required at this point.
The "Edit Calendar" allows you to:
- re-name your selected calendar to something else
- reset the selected calendar to default - handy when you wish to start afresh
- delete the selected calendar entirely
Pre-selectable default calendars for countries
Please take note that some specific calendars are not 100% accurate. The most common example is the Islamic calendar, where some computed holidays are not exactly on the same official day decided by religious authorities, and this may vary country by country. Whenever it’s possible, try to adjust your results with the official data provided by the adequate authorities.
