Business calendar

You can use the business calendar to specify which days of the week your business is open, as well as holidays and important business events.

As well as being a handy reference, the business calendar affects the Reminders function in the To Do list. If you set a reminder to call a customer on a day that your business is indicated in the business calendar as being closed, the reminder will appear in the To Do List window on the business day before the task is due.

For example, if a reminder is scheduled for Saturday but your business is closed on Saturdays, the reminder will appear in the To Do List window on Friday.

To set up your business calendar

Go to the Setup menu and choose Business Calendar. The Business Calendar window appears.

The current month is displayed in the calendar at the top of the window. Days that appear in grey are days when your business is closed.

If you want to mark a specific day as closed, click the date in the calendar.

If your business is always open or closed on a specific day of the week, click that day in the Shortcut for setting average business week section. A message will confirm that you are changing the day’s status.

Add any important events that occur during the month in the Important Dates section.

If you want to change other months in the business calendar, click the arrows at the top of the calendar.

Click OK to close the business calendar.
