This window panel can be accessed from the Calendar ID table and from the Calendar file.
If you access the window from the Calendar ID table, you can select either to:
- create the calendar from the default values
or - copy an existing calendar
When creating a calendar from the default values, the days are copied from a base calendar delivered with the system. The base calendar contains all calendar days from 1900-01-01 to 2099-12-31. Note: You cannot maintain the base calendar.
If you access this window from the Calendar file, you can update the selected calendar by using the default values entered in the Calendar ID table. You can enter a year/month from when the calendar should be updated, if you do not want to update the whole calendar.
Note: When updating the calendar from default values, the relative day numbers in the Order files and in the Manual orders and reservation file will be updated. The Time axis file will also be rebuilt.
