Calendar day selections

When adding calendar days in a CalendarSchedule, a special event in a weekly schedule, or a trigger event in a trigger schedule, the following “Type” selections are available:

Date selection notes

As shown in Figure 339, Date calendar selection has 4 criteria: weekday, day-of-month, month, and year.

Calendar selection by date


You can make only one selection in each criteria (weekday, day-of-month, month, year). Each criteria offers an “any” selection, in addition to a specific selection.

Result of selections is by “ANDing” all criteria. For example, if you select weekday of Tuesday, day of month as 5, and remaining criteria “any,” the event is specified only on Tuesday, the fifth of any month in any year. If a month does not have Tuesday the fifth, then there is no event that month.

Date range selection notes

As shown in Figure 340, Date Range calendar selection has a start range and end range, each with 3 criteria: day-of-month, month, and year.

Calendar selection by date range


You can make only one selection in each criteria (day-of-month, month, year). Each criteria offers an “any” selection, in addition to a specific selection.

In each date range, result is from “ANDing” the criteria. In addition, the start day can be after the end date. For example, as shown in Figure 340, the start day can be in December and the end date in March. This event occurs December, January and February.

Week and day selection notes

As shown in Figure 341, Week and Day calendar selection has 3 criteria: weekday, week-in-month, and month.

Calendar selection by week and day


You can make only one selection in each criteria (weekday, week-in-month, month). Each criteria offers an “any” selection, in addition to a specific selection.

In addition, the following criteria offer additional selections, as follows:

  • week-in-month:

    • Last 7 Days

  • month:

    • Jan-Mar-May-Jul-Sep-Nov

    • Feb-Apr-Jun-Aug-Oct-Dec

The selection result is from “ANDing” the criteria. For example, as shown in Figure 341, if selections are for weekday as Monday, the month as February, and the week as 3, the event occurs only on the third Monday in February.

Custom selection notes

As shown in Figure 342, Custom calendar selection has 5 criteria: day-of-month, month, weekday, week-in-month, and year.

Unlike with other calendar types, you can make multiple selections within each criteria (except if you select “any,” which allows only that selection). To select multiples, first select something other than “Any,” then hold down the Ctrl or Shift key while you select more values.

Each criteria offers an “any” selection, in addition to a specific selection. In addition, the following criteria offer additional selections, as follows:

  • day-of-month:

    • Last Day

    • Last 7 Days

  • week-in-month:

    • Last 7 Days

Within any criteria, selections are “OR’ed.” The overall result is from “AND’ing” all criteria. For example, Figure 342 shows a custom selection for U.S. General Election Day, which must be configured as the “first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.”
