Details Tab (Daily Calendar)
The Details tab contains the following elements:
Frequency —Sets the frequency in days by which the days are automatically selected for the calendar.
Include the following days —Includes the selected days of the week in the date generation process. Excluded days
will not be used as production dates, but will be counted during calendar calculation. When the calendar production

day and restarts the count starting from that day.
will not be used as production dates, but will be counted during calendar calculation. When the calendar production
date is calculated to fall on an excluded day of the week, the date generation process chooses the next included
day and restarts the count starting from that day.
For example:
If you set the frequency to 2 days, starting Monday, and exclude Saturday and Sunday, you will get Mon, Wed, Fri,
(Sun skipped, go to next available day)
(Sun skipped, go to next available day)
Mon (reset count), Wed, ….
—
Although Saturday and Sunday were excluded days of the week, they were counted during date generation.
—
Because Saturday and Sunday were excluded, when the next calendar production date was calculated as
Sunday, the next non-excluded day of the week (Monday) was selected.
Sunday, the next non-excluded day of the week (Monday) was selected.
—
Since the count for date generation is restarted after an excluded day is skipped, the next calendar date was
Wednesday.
