In this tab, specify the availability times of the system's material resources, to determine which Material resource is available on a given date.

The principle is as follows:

1. You enter a standard day or week, and then you copy it to the period and the material resources for which it is valid.
2. Next, you enter the particular ranges as they arise, on a case-by-case basis.

For usage instructions, see Material resources calendar and Copying availabilities.

Scheduling interactions

Graphical manipulations of availabilities

You can enter a calendar availability with the mouse cursor by holding down the left button and then move it to another location on the calendar.

You can also change the time by dragging the graphic handles on the edge of an activity and stretching or shrinking it to suit your requirements.

Calendar availabilities can also be quickly cut/copied/pasted using the appropriate keyboard shortcuts.

Interactions

Various interactions are possible within the calendars in order to facilitate their maintenance.

• If an availability is moved or created and touches/overlaps another availability of the same type: the 2 availabilities are then merged to create a single availability.
• If an availability is inserted in the middle of the range of another availability, or if it partially overlaps an availability, then the overlapped availability is adjusted and can be split into 2 parts if necessary.
