Create date collections
The content of this page is specific to the Delphi product type only. If you are using the Delphi Core product type and want to learn more about the Delphi product type, contact your sales representative.
As an administrator, you can create date collections at the corporate or property level. Each date collection needs to be assigned a category, which determines how the date collection is color coded on the Availability page. Date collection categories are defined as setup values.
Three default date collection categories are provided: Default, MultiColor, and Public Event. You need to assign colors to these categories along with the other categories you create. Default is used for date collections that do not have an assigned category. MultiColor is used when multiple date collections are assigned to the selected date. Public Event is used for events on a public calendar.
