Cut-off Calendars

Do you want to know what a Cut-off calendar is? Then you need to follow this link.

Data Watcher is equipped with two pre-existing calendars: Everyday and Every working day.

Do you need to set a different Calendar? This is the section for you then!

Here are the steps you need to follow to configure a Calendar:

  1. As Administrator, go to Setup → Cut-off Calendars.
  2. Click on the button.
  3. In the Upload Calendar window, Download example template on your local drive.
  4. Edit the TXT file specifying these parameters:
    [INFO]
    Name= assign a name to the calendar you are creating
    Description= enter a description for the calendar, which will appear in the main screen.
    [WEEKDAYS]
    Accepted values are E = Enabled and 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: 20221225=D will disable December 25th, 2022.
  5. Upload the TXT file using the same window used for the download.

Here below is an example of how a Calendar can be configured:

[INFO]
NAME=Every Working Day
DESCRIPTION=Every Working Day
