Verifying and Updating Work Calendars

A work calendar defines the week start day, working / non-working days of the week, and default working hours.

Audere makes it easy to manage your resources' time with the default calendar or additional work calendars.

Note: This functionality is only available for Administrators and Owners.

In Work Calendars, you can:

Verify the default work calendar and use as-is
Update the default calendar to best match the needs of your organization (single calendar for all users)
Add more calendars to assign different calendars to different users (multiple calendars)

Note: Once multiple calendars exist, you can designate one of them as the default calendar. The default calendar is applied to all users unless otherwise set.

Verify the Default Work Calendar

A default work calendar is provided with standard settings.

Select your Profile icon in the upper-right corner of the page and then select Account Settings from the drop-down menu to open the Account Settings page.
Select Work Calendars from the side menu.
Review the following defaults set for the work calendar created for your Schedule:
- First Day of the Week: Monday
- Name: Default
- Working Days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (weekdays)
- Weekly Hours: 40
- Default: automatically enabled on the default calendar

If everything looks good, you're all set. If not, continue to Update a Work Calendar for help updating the calendar.

Update a Work Calendar

Set the work calendar options to best match the needs of your organization.

To edit the default calendar or an added calendar in the Edit Calendar dialog:

Select inside the First Day of the Week field to select a new day from the drop-down list.
Select the calendar title in the Name field to edit an existing calendar.
Enter a unique name for the calendar in the Name field.
Enter the number of default working hours for a day to mark it as a Working Day or (0) zero to set the day as a Non-Working Day. This calculates the total Weekly Hours for the Schedule.
Once complete, select Update to save or Cancel to close the dialog without saving.

After updating a work calendar, affected team members logged into the schedule page will receive a live update message. Selecting Ok in the prompt will implement the change.

Caution: Inform team members about the calendar update before applying it. Unsaved work may be lost after applying the live update.

Delete a Work Calendar

In the Edit Calendar dialog, select the Delete button to delete that work calendar.

The default calendar can't be deleted.
If you delete a calendar that has people associated to it, those people shift to the default calendar once it's deleted.
