Special Dates: What They Are and How to Create Them

To create a special date:

1. Go to Settings > Special Dates.

2. Click Add Special Date.

3. Type the name of the special date and a description if appropriate.


Adding a special date

4. If the date applies to all buildings, check All Buildings. If not, clear the checkbox. The system then displays a new tab. Select the building(s) to which this date applies. 

5. Enter the start and end date. If you enter a single date, the end date will automatically be set to the start date.  

6. When finished, click Save.

 

Changing the description for multiple days

If you need to change multiple dates, use the checkboxes on the left side of the grid to select the dates to be changed, and from the popup menu, select Change Name.  The selected dates need to have the same description to have this option appear in the menu bar.
