# Setup Schedule: Calendars

You use the Calendars tab to create holiday calendars and working time calendars and to assign them to your resources and processes.

Creating calendars is optional. By default your resources work all of the time, that is, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. You do not need to use Calendars unless a resource or a process regularly works less than the default time.

In medium-term and long-term scheduling, it is unusual to have more than one calendar. You can use one global holiday calendar to record annual holidays and other major shutdowns. There is little reason to specify working time and holiday calendars for individual resources when you produce a medium-term or long-term schedule. The use of calendars for individual resources increases the processing time to create your schedules. It is better practice to adjust your daily resource capacity and mining rates to account for working times.

In short-term scheduling, resource-specific calendars are more useful. When you produce short-term schedules, you usually define your resources as the individual diggers. Assigning calendars to individual resources to define exact working times for short-term schedules allows you to create more accurate schedules.

To define each calendar, complete the fields on the Calendar details pane and then, depending on the calendar type, complete the Holidays data grid or Working Times data grid.

The calendars you create are listed in the Calendars pane. You specify the processes and resources you want to assign a calendar to by dragging the calendar to resources and processes in the Resources and Processes pane. You can apply a calendar to all resources using the Global check box in the Calendar details pane.
