If you have purchased Advanced Scheduling and the Calendar option is still grayed out, contact Chief Integrations.

21 -Within SHOWRUNNER™, the term //Calendar// refers to a single day or a collection of days that may or may not occur on the same dates each year. The rules determining what days and dates are part of a Calendar vary and can be very complex, and they will be explained in a separate section. A //Calendar Group// is simply a collection of Calendars. A Calendar Group makes it easy for a User to re-use the same group of Calendars for multiple Events without worrying about forgetting any particular holiday. Additionally, any changes made to a Calendar Group are automatically applied to any Event that utilizes that Calendar Group.

23 -SHOWRUNNER™ Advanced Scheduling comes pre-loaded with major US Holidays, including all Federal Holidays. These are available to be selected on the left. All pre-loaded Calendars and Calendar Groups are read-only, meaning that they cannot be modified or deleted by Users. By selecting a pre-loaded Calendar and then pressing the **View button**, a User is able to see what the rules governing that Calendar are, aiding in the understanding of how to create a custom Calendar. To create a custom Calendar, press the **Calendar button**.

35 -With the Weekly and Calendar Recurrence Type selected, both the "Edit Calendar" and "Edit Weekly" options are enabled. Creating new Calendars or Calendar Groups is the same process as with the Calendar Recurrence Type selected. Likewise, the **Edit Weekly button** behaves the same as with the Weekly Recurrence Type selected. The difference between the Calendar and the Weekly and Calendar Recurrence types is in how the Inclusion Calendar list and Exclusion Calendar list behave.

37 -With no Calendars or Calendar Groups added to either the Inclusion Calendar or Exclusion Calendar list, the Event will trigger only on the days specified in the Recurrence Days menu accessed by pressing the **Edit Weekly button**. Adding a Calendar or Calendar Group to the Exclusion Calendar list will ensure that the Event never triggers on those dates. Adding a Calendar or Calendar Group to the Inclusion Calendar list will ensure that the Event only triggers on those dates, and only if those dates fall on one of the days specified in the Recurrence Days menu. For example, a Weekly and Calendar recurrence with Monday through Friday as Recurrence Days and Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day added to the Inclusion Calendar list will never trigger, because Mothers' Day and Fathers' Day are always on a Sunday and thus will never fall between Monday and Friday. Deselecting a day in the Recurrence Days menu is equivalent to creating a Calendar consisting of those weekdays and adding them to the Exclusion Calendar list.
