# Calendar item ### Overview Calendar items are used to store important information about the timing and duration of shifts. These items include three critical pieces of information: the shift item itself, the days of the week on which the shift runs, and the dates the shift is valid for. When shifts are fixed and run regularly, the shift dates can be set years in advance. However, calendar items are also useful when companies run different shift patterns during peak times of the year. In such cases, the dates of the shifts can be easily adjusted to reflect the specific requirements of the production schedule. ### Creating a Calendar Item Go to **Settings >** **Asset Hierarchy >** **Calendars** Select the **relevant** **Calendar > Calendar Item > *****Create***; you will be presented with a pop-up. ### Fields | Name | Description | | ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Shift Template \* | The name of the shift template | | Valid From \* | Enter a date when the calendar is valid from | | Valid To \* | Enter a date when the calendar item is valid to | | Day Checkboxes | Monday / Tuesday / Wednesday / Thursday / Friday / Saturday / Sunday | Click the ***Save and close*** --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
