Administrators with permission can add calendars that show working days, typically set up to align with your country's public holidays, half day holidays and so on. These are useful when users want to calculate the daily average using working days, rather than days in calendar months etc.
Create a working days calendar
Click the Phocas menu button > Administration > Working Days.
On the Working Days screen, click New.
Set up the calendar (see information about the fields in the table below).
Calendar Name - Enter a unique display name.
Start Year - Specify the starting point for use in automatically generating working days.
End Year - Specify the end point for use in automatically generating working days.
Exclude Weekends - Select this checkbox if you do not want weekends to be included as working days when automatically generating working days.
Click Save.
Configure working days calendar
You can further configure a calendar via the Calendar and Days tabs on the Working Days screen.

Days presents two views for configuration:
Calendar view: Used for setting working days. Click on the day to toggle between working day and non-working day. Non-working days (such as weekends) are shaded blue. Partial working days are shaded pale blue, for example, in the image below, Tuesday 12 April is a half-day.
Grid view: Used for adding, editing and removing working days. Click on the day to edit and use New button to add. To remove a day, select the row and click Delete.
Change the hours in a working day
In the Calendar view, the working day dialog can be accessed by selecting the day number in a calendar cell.
In the Grid view, the working day dialog is accessed by selecting an active link to a day.
A partial working day allows for more than or less than a single day value to be allocated to a single calendar day. The value for a working day is set via the dialog shown below. Partial days must be entered as 0.5, 1.5 etc. They will display as pale blue.
