Create date collections
Date collections can be created at the corporate or property level. Each date collection should be assigned a category which determines how the date collection will be 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 should assign colors to these categories along with the other categories you've created. Default is used for date collections that don't have an assigned category. MultiColor indicates there are multiple date collection assigned to the selected date (for example, August 24 may be both a citywide and a holiday). Public Event is used for events you add to a public calendar.
