Calendar Properties dialog - Calendar tab

To access the Calendar Properties dialog, right-click a calendar in Library Explorer or the project view and select Properties.

Click the appropriate year button at the top of the tab.

1. Double-click the day in which you are interested, or right-click the day and select View working hours. The Working Hours dialog appears.
   
   The Working Hours dialog displays the day's working and non-working periods in a list. A symbol to the left of each period indicates whether the period relates to working or non-working time: a symbol to the left of a period indicates working time; a symbol indicates non-working time. Exceptions, ie additional periods of working or non-working time that have been added to the day in addition to the normal work pattern such as overtime or hospital appointments, are highlighted in purple text.
2. To simplify the list of working and non-working periods, you can choose to hide standard non-working periods - ie those that are taken from the normal work pattern - from the list, leaving just working periods and exceptions displayed. To do this, clear the Show generic non-working periods check box. Reselect the check box to display all working and non-working periods in the list.
3. Click Close to close the Working Hours dialog and return to the Calendar Properties dialog.

1. Select the day, or days, to which you want to assign a work pattern.
2. Right-click one of the selected days, then select Assign work pattern - Work pattern name, where Work pattern name is the name of the work pattern you want to assign to the day.

1. Select the day, or days, to which you want to assign an exception.
2. Click Add Exception. The Add Exception dialog appears.
3. Select the type of exception that you want to add, for example Holiday or Overtime, in the Exception type field.
• To create an exception with start and end times that do not match a standard morning, afternoon or full day - for example, a hospital appointment that takes two hours - click the Specific start and end times radio button then enter the times at which the exception starts and ends in the From and To fields.
• To create an exception that covers a full morning, afternoon or working day as defined by the work pattern that applies on the selected day(s), click the From work pattern periods radio button then use the Morning and Afternoon check boxes to indicate whether the exception covers the morning or afternoon only, or the full day.
• To create an exception that covers an entire twenty-four hour period, click the 24 hour exception radio button.
4. Click Add. If a new exception overlaps with one or more existing exceptions, the Overlapping Exceptions dialog appears, prompting you to specify whether the new exception should replace (or partially replace) the existing exception, or whether the new exception should be cancelled.

2. Click Delete Exception.
