Overview#

A Calendar, in the context of Critical Manufacturing, refers to a company fiscal or reporting calendar and it is used to map civil calendar days and times to the company calendar operational and reporting structures.

A Calendar defines the year start day, the day start time and the default working shift for each day of the week. A Calendar is associated to a set of Calendar Days, which provide specific instantiations for each day. Each Calendar Day defines the Shift Definition for that day as well as the Team that works in each Shift Definition Shift.

Each Facility can be associated to a default Calendar and each Area has its own attached Calendar. An Employee and a Team are associated with a Calendar.

A Calendar can be marked as being an Enterprise wide reporting dimension, which means that date for all areas will be consolidated at day, week, month, quarter and year level for that Calendar.

In the Calendar, it is possible to define the Time Zone, and this setting will later be used to find the timezone details and apply date conversions accordingly.

Info

All dates are stored internally as UTC (coordinated universal time) dates.
