Generate Periods Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to generate multiple periods in a calendar and to select a pattern for the periods, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.

Oftentimes, a company calendar follows a pattern with small deviations. For example, if your organization uses a 4w, 4w, 5w calendar pattern but the calendar always ends at the end of the year, you can use the Generate Periods option to create the calendar and manually add a date using the Add Period option to create an end date for the year period.

Note: While this dialog box is intended primarily for generating dates when a calendar is first created, it can also be used for extending an existing calendar. This dialog box is identical to the Periods page of the New Calendar Wizard.
