(Re-)generate calendar
Calendars are generated annually in the Wise configuration manager at OCLC Wise > Calendar > (Re-)generate Calendar. Once a calendar is generated, it can be changed and managed via Calendar management.
Generate the calendar
Calendars can be generated or re-generated for the current year and future years at the system or branch level. It is possible to generate the calendar at the system level and then adjust varying branch calendars individually. When a new calendar is generated, it follows the Weekly pattern - days of operation configured in Management organizations > Branches on the Service desk tab.
