Overview

Use this tab to use, demote, or remove calendars and to rename calendars present in the XML file.

Screen Elements

Global/Resource Calendars list

Table area:

Row Actions menu

Delete From Template: Enables you to remove the selected calendar from the template.

You cannot delete a calendar from the template if it exists in the file you are currently importing.

Name list

Displays the name of the calendar.

Calendars that have not been imported using this template before are listed under New. Calendars that have been imported using this template and saved to the template in the past are listed under Saved.

Type list

Displays whether the calendar is a global calendar, personal resource calendar, or shared resource calendar. Project calendars are not listed.

Details list

Displays the calendar's details. Click View Calendar Details to examine the details of the calendar and compare differences between the version in the import file and the version in your database. If the calendar you are examining has been saved to the template but does not exist in the import file or database, only the definition of the standard work week is available.

Action list

Determines whether the calendar is imported without change, or converted to a project or shared resource calendar when it is imported.

New Name field

The new name for the calendar after it has been imported.

Renaming a calendar when it is imported to your database can help to prevent calendars with the same name in your database from being updated unintentionally during the import process.
