Note: | The following settings are in Add Event and Edit Event. See Adding Events and Editing Events. |
To set the start date of the first or only occurrence of an event, click Select (Alt+S) to display a calendar. You can enter text in the Filter box to narrow the search. For example, if the time period is months, enter M to display May and March for all years. An asterisk (*) is a “wildcard” symbol that matches any characters.
To set additional start dates for irregular occurrences after the first “Start date” entry:
Select at custom intervals, and then click Select (Alt+l) to display the Select Custom Dates dialog.
Use the arrow buttons to move dates from Available Dates to Selected Dates. These are start dates for other occurrences of that event that happen later than the start date entered in Add Events.
The duration is assumed to be the same as the duration entered in Add Events. You can use Filteras described for “Start date” earlier in this list.
To define start dates for event occurrences in the future, enter a number for Show Future Periods.
This setting is only for entering start dates. It is different from Periods to Forecast, shown in Predictor Results.
