Cut-off Calendars

If you want to know why you need to set up a Cut-off calendar, follow this link.

Data Watcher has two pre-existing calendars: Everyday and Every Working Day. If you need to set a different Calendar, follow these steps:

  1. As Administrator, go to Setup → Cut-off Calendars.
  2. Click on the button.
  3. In the Upload Calendar window, click Download example template and save it on your local drive.
  4. Edit the TXT file specifying these parameters:
    [INFO]
    Name: name of the calendar you are creating
    Description: description of the calendar that will appear on the main screen.
    [WEEKDAYS]
    Accepted values: E Enabled, D Disabled.
    A day is Enabled when a cut-off can be configured for that day.
    A day is Disabled when a cut-off cannot be configured for that day.
    [EXCEPTIONS]
    In this section you can configure bank holidays or days when the cut-off will not be applied. The format supported is:
    yyyymmdd=E | D
    For example: 20251225=D will disable December 25th, 2025.
  5. Upload the TXT file using the same window as for the download.

Find here below an example of a Calendar:
