Calendar¶

The Calendar module provides a visual overview of events and upcoming maintenance deadlines. It supports three view modes (month, week and day) and can be navigated forward and backward through time.

Events come from three sources: events created directly in the calendar, maintenance deadlines pulled automatically from the Maintenance module, and events imported from a local .ics file. A configurable reminder is shown a set number of days before each maintenance deadline.

Days can be marked as holidays and holiday eves. The calendar publishes that classification to two internal variables, which can be handed on to a PLC or DUC so its own schedules react to the day type.
