Parameters

The tab Parameters displays the days of a particular month in a selected year. A year is set in the dropdown box Year. A month can be selected using the scrollbar.

When creating a new calendar, the system automatically generates a calendar according to the current year, that includes the basic day types only: Workday, Saturday and Sunday. Such a calendar can be, of course, redefined - a day may be assigned an arbitrary day type, not only one of the three basic ones but also a user-created day type.

To assign a day type a day click the day in the calendar. A popup menu containing the list of all defined day types (Workday, Saturday, Sunday and types created by a system configurator) is opened. Choosing one of the types assigns this day type to the selected day and the item of the day is marked by the colour of this day type.
