Editing the Calendar in Scheduler

The "Edit Calendar" section allows you to add typical days to the calendar.

Start by selecting the "Edit Calendar" view, click Show the "Edit Calendar" mode (Alt+2).

The calendar displays the dates of a full year; the calendar is divided into 12 months, and each column of a month represents the day of the week.

Selecting Date(s) in the Calendar

Selecting date(s) in the calendar allows you to perform different operations of adding, deleting, and replacing typical days in the calendar.

• When a date is empty, it appears in white.
• When a date is empty and selected, it appears in gray.
• When a date contains an instance of a typical day, it appears in the same color as the typical day.
• When a date contains an instance of a typical day and is selected, it appears in the same color as the typical day but grayed out.

The calendar allows you to make multiple date selections. Here are the different possible cases:

• Single date selection: click on the date you want to select; the date is selected.

• Month selection: click on the desired month; all dates of the month are selected.

• Multiple non-consecutive dates selection: hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard, click one by one on the dates you want to select; all clicked dates are selected.
