Using the Calendar

You will use The software's calendar to quickly and easily set all dates and times in the software. A great example is when you're scheduling an appointment or changing the time a vehicle will be ready for pickup.

Click to Open... The software's pop-up calendar:

The pop-up calendar always opens to the date and time that you are editing.  If no date and time are yet specified, the calendar will default to now - the current date and time.

NOTE: The date and time you are changing is shown as Was: (at the top of the pop-up calendar), and your newly entered date and time is shown as Set:.  You should always check the Set: date before clicking the Set tool, which makes the change permanent and closes the dialog.

The current date (Today:) is shown at the bottom of the calendar, to the right of the red circle.  To set the Set: date to today's date, simply click the bottom red circle or the today date beside it.

To set a new date and time:

The software's calendar is very interactive. Use the various tools described below to quickly set a date and time:

  1. Click to Open... Click on the year to view the year change scroll bars, which allow you to quickly change the year.

  2. Click to Open... Click the left and right arrow buttons to move ahead or back from month to month.

  3. Click to Open... A second way to pick a month is to click on the month name, and choose from the drop down list.
