Configure Calendar Time Period Settings

A calendar's time period settings specify the default number of hours in each work period. The standard time period hours defined in the Application Settings are displayed by default, but can be changed after the calendar is created. Time period settings are separate from the calendar's standard work week values, which specify the working hours for each day of the week.

The application calculates and stores time unit values in hourly increments, but you can configure your user preferences to display time units in other increments, such as days or weeks. The values specified for Time Periods are used to convert hours to other time increments for display, and to convert all non-hourly time increments to hours for storage in the database.
