Adding a Date Range Calendar Event

You add a date range to a calendar to specify two or more consecutive days with a specific start and end date, such as 19 March to 23 March, 2013.

The dates specified in a calendar are shown in the date list. You can specify dates in a calendar by three different methods:

  • Date: a specific date

  • Date range: a fixed period with a set start and stop date

  • Calculated date: a fixed period that repeats

Date Calendar Events

A single date within a calendar is an entry that occurs once or every year on the same date.

The following single date entry choices schedule an event on a single date, January 1, 2009:

  • Year - 2009

  • Month - January

  • Day of month - 1

  • Day of week - Any day

The following single date entry choices schedule an event on a single date every year, January 1:

  • Year - Any Year

  • Month - January

  • Day of month - 1

  • Day of week - Any day

The following choices produce an error message:

  • A day, month, and year combination that does not coincide

    An example is Friday, March 5, 2009. This date actually falls on a Thursday.

  • Any years past 2105

  • An explicit day that is out of range

    An example is September 31 or February 29 in a non-leap year.​​

Date Range Calendar Events

You can include a date range in the date list. A date range is a series of days to include in a calendar. An example of a date range is January 1, 2009 to January 31, 2009, which adds the entire month of January to the calendar as an event. You can use this date range for a device, such as a thermostat, to behave differently for the whole month of January.

Calculated Calendar Events

You can include a calculated date on a date list. A calculated date has no set start and stop date. For example, you use a calculated date to schedule the first week of the even months on a Friday.
