2.2. Setting up Default Days

Up one level
Setting up default working days in the Bika Calendar

Clicking on the |default days| tab of the Bika Calendar set-up brings up the following screen if you have default days set-up already for a given period, in this case for the 2007 calendar year

If its your first visit this page will be empty and you would head for the [add default days] button straight away


Bika Calendar Setup - Default Day View


This screen shows the default working hours per day of the week for a given period  and the amount of working time per day. Days for which no hours are shown, e.g. Saturday and Sunday. The only working days illustrated in the above example are  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Adding / Editing Default Days

You can either create a new series of default days by clicking the [add default days] button, or you can edit the the current default days, by clicking any of the current set of default days

As an example, let's set up default working hours for the 2008 calendar year. After clicking [add default days], you'll see:


Bika Calendar Setup - Edit Default Days

Complete the fields like this

Title: This is the title given for the period of default working days, lets call it 2008 Standard hours in this example

Date from: Date that this working day range starts from, 1 January 2008

Date to: Date at which this working day series ends, 31 December 2008

Beware not to overlook the date fields, they default to the system date when opening the screen

Enter these dates from the drop down menus by clicking on the down arrows next to the year, month, day or click the calendar icon to make a selection from a calendar graphic interface:

The set-up allows for a number of shifts per day for which start and end times can be provided. The length of each shift and total for the day will then be calculated

Lets enter 2 shifts per week day, 09:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 17:00 and  half a day for Saturdays 09:00 to 14:00

The completed screen will then look like this:

Once you're finished editing or adding work day details, click [submit] to save the new configuration. You will be returned to the default days summary, showing your latest edits
