Calendars

Getting There: Accessing this application is done by double clicking on the Calendars icon in the ConCentRICs main menu.



Purpose: Calendars is one of the major reporting applications for scheduling information. ConCentRICs actually contains two major scheduling report applications: Calendars and Booking Analysis. If a report shows specific events within a date range, then it is a detail report and will appear in Calendars. If a report counts the events within a date range and displays a total number or percentage of events within a date range, then it is a statistical report and is covered in Booking Analysis.
Security Level: To view any function - Read Only. To make changes to entries - Normal. To add entries- System. To delete entries - Manager.
