TABLE OF CONTENTS The end date of an activity is calculated from the start date plus the duration over the calendar associated with the activity. Therefore, a five day duration activity that starts on a Wednesday, and is associated with a five day work week calendar (with Saturday and Sunday as non-work days) will finish on the following Tuesday.
SureTrak has a Global Calendar and a minimum of one Base Calendar. The Global Calendar sets the default working days and hours used in new calendars and the holidays for all calendars.
The Global Calendar may not be assigned to an activity.
The Global Calendar may be edited for each new schedule.
Up to 31 Base calendars may be created. Base calendars are assigned to activities so as to allow for each activity s individual calendar requirements. For example, office work would be allocated a five-day calendar, while site work would be allocated a six-day calendar.
Each Holiday or Non-workday nominated in the Global Calendar is reflected in all Base calendars. As a general rule you should make the Global Calendar 5 or 6 days per week at 8 hrs per day and include Public Holidays. Public Holidays on the same date every year may be made Annual. RDO s may also be entered here only if they affect all other calendars.
To edit, delete or create calendars select Define, Calendars to display the Calendars form.
