Calendar Schedules view

This view specifies regular exceptions to the weekly schedule. On a calendar schedule, you define entire days, using four types of day event selections: Date, Date Range, Week and Day, or Reference. You can add as many day events as needed in the same calendar schedule.

The system links calendar schedules by referencing them from the special events tab of one or more weekly schedules. Each referenced calendar schedule defines the day portion of a special event. Then, you configure time-of-day events in each special event as needed.

Calendar schedules allow you to define the events for a day, which can be applied to multiple weekly schedules. If events change, all you have to do to change all your weekly schedules is to change the one calendar schedule because all weekly schedules reference it.
