Working Calendar
The Working Calendar contains two major parts, Working Days and Invalid Days for each Division, please see figure 3.
Figure 3, The Working Calendar
In the working calendar, working days and holidays can be specified. There are two kinds of days for the calendar:
- Working Days
- Days when the selected Division is up and running, weekends may be specified as a holiday (day-off)
- Invalid Days
- Days where the selected Division is either on holiday (day-off) or working
The settings made in the working calendar are made by Division and therefore must be set for each division separately. The settings made here influence the cast calendar and the setup will be visible when doing cast planning.
