General Events

General Events are delivered events by PeopleSoft. These are the default events, such as Schedule, Holiday, Birthday and Work Anniversary.

Note:

If your organization needs to make changes to general events, then it's recommended to disable the delivered general event and create a new custom event.

General events are displayed in-line on the day boxes. Hence they do not have any colored background. Thus, there is no color configuration in the schedule, the Day Off color can be specified.
