Overview

The Calendar panel lets you choose the date range used when creating new schedules. You can view up to the next four months and select a range of up to 90 days. Special Events are shown when you hover over a date, making it easy to identify weeks that include assemblies, Memorials, or other exceptions.

Selecting a Date Range

You can select a date range in several ways:

  • Click the start date and drag to the end date
  • Click the start date, then Shift‑click the end date
  • Click the start date, hold Shift, and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrow keys to extend the range

Your chosen range is highlighted on the calendar.

Special Events

If a date includes a Special Event, hovering your mouse over it will display the event details. This helps you avoid selecting a range that overlaps with assemblies or other special weeks unless you intend to.

When a Date Range Is Required

A valid date range must be selected when creating a new schedule.

If no range is selected, the Create action will not proceed.
