Day type settings directory

Day type settings directory

The Day type settings directory is used to manage day type settings.

Day type configuration involves the creation of a weekly schedule, which determines when certain day types will apply to divisions. The schedule is recurring (weekly). You can also create exceptions, through which you can set concrete start and end dates for the application of a day type.

Day type settings can be made for a future time period, as well as for individual date ranges within this period, on set days of the week, or only on specific dates. In the Filter panel, you can select any number of weeks from 1 to 100 for which to display day type settings. The Filter panel is used to narrow down the number of displayed settings, not to limit their application.

Data grid columns:

  • Division indicates the division for which the day type setting is configured.

  • Day type denotes the day type.

  • Start date is the start date and time of the period for which the day type setting is configured.

  • End date is the end date and time of the period for which the day type setting is configured.

The context menu of the directory contains the following commands:

  • Add day (Ins) – adds a day type setting for days of the week (recurs weekly).

  • Add special day (Alt+Ins) – adds a day type setting for special days (single non-recurring time periods).

  • Edit (F2) – edits attributes of day type settings.

  • Delete (Del) – permanently deletes day type settings.

  • Using special days – hides/displays special days in the directory data grid.

    Clicking on this command will display either all settings (if the command is checked) or only settings for days of the week (if the command is not checked).
