Apply calendar to time series

In the field „Apply calendar to time series” a time series can be selected just like with the TSM App by either typing its name in the drop down field oder by using the Time series Search.

Once a time series is set, confirm your choice with "OK" and the current calendar will be applied to this time series. This means that the calendars entries are now represented by the time series. So for Friday's, the time series value will be 5 (=the daytype of a regular Friday). For any day that has an entry in the calendar, the time series value will be the one of of that days daytype.

When the checkbox "Set weekdays to 0" is activated, the value of a weekday will always be 0, except for holidays that have an entry in the calendar. Their value will be according to their type.
