Create or Edit the Calendar

When you loadFasTrak Admin for the first time, a calendar won't be available. To create one, select Edit Calendar from the Calendar view.

Year Start/Year End — Select dates for the calendar to start/end. You can either type into the date fields or select the date button to view a mini-calendar, from which you can select the desired date.

Only a IRIS BioStoreengineer should change the Year Start Date as it deletes historic records.

Treat weekends as holidays — If this option is ticked, the calendar will be created with weekends marked as holidays.

Select OK to save changes to the calendar, or Cancel to discard any changes you've made.

Holiday options

To add holidays to a calendar, select Edit Calendar.

Type — Select whether the holiday will be a single day (e.g. teacher training day), or a date range.

Start Date/End Date — Select a start/end date for the holiday. You can either type into the date fields or select the date button to view a mini-calendar, from which you can select the desired date.

Comment — Enter a comment briefly describing the holiday, to make it easier to identify if future changes are needed.

Synchronizing with the online pre-ordering calendar

If you’re using online pre-ordering, changes you make in the Calendar section will be reflected online within 50 minutes (by default). You can change this time by navigating to Maintenance – PreOrder Settings – Menu Upload Interval.
