Calendars Tags

The calendars tags specify which calendars are used while processing the Measure Factory. You can set these tags to create standard, custom, and fiscal calendars. The first calendar declared in the factory configuration script becomes the default calendar in DivePort QuickViews, unless the default-calendar tag is used.

For example:

calendars {
  calendar "Standard"
  calendar "Fiscal" type="Offset July"
  default-calendar "Fiscal"
}

NOTE: Calendars defined in the factory configuration file are used by DivePort only. If you want to use the factory data in ProDiver with a fiscal calendar, you need to use ProDiver calendar features.
