Changing calendar settings

Note:

You must have edit permission for the app to select a different calendar type.

By default, the Gregorian calendar is used to display time-based data in dashboards. If your organization uses a different calendar, such as a financial or corporate calendar that does not align with the Gregorian calendar year, you can choose to use the Fiscal calendar option.

Follow these steps to change the calendar settings.

Select the icon and select Settings.
Go to the Calendar tab.
If desired, enable the Fiscal calendar option.
1. Select the applicable option from the Calendar type list.
2. Configure the calendar type options according to your organization rules.
Close the Settings page.

Fiscal calendar

If the Enable fiscal calendar option is selected, you can select the applicable calendar type from the list of available calendar types.

The fiscal calendar allows for better year-over-year comparison.

To use the fiscal calender in the Timeframe filter, the Use fiscal calendar option must be enabled in the Timeframe filter.

4-4-5 calendar type

The 4-4-5 calendar divides a year into four quarters of weeks. Each quarter has 13 weeks, which are divided into two 4-week "months" and one 5-week "month". The system ensures each quarter is consistently 13 weeks or 91 days.

Note:

In leap years, one week is added to fiscal calendar.

4-5-4 calendar type

The 4-5-4 calendar divides a year into months based on four-week, five-week, and four-week periods. This pattern repeats 4 times a year, making it a 4-5-4, 4-5-4, 4-5-4, 4-5-4 sequence cycle.

This calendar allows you to compare data in a more consistent manner since weekends are accounted for in the same manner throughout the year. It also accommodates for the 52-53 week fiscal year.

The 4-5-4 calendar ensures comparison of consistent weeks year over year.

5-4-4 calendar type

The 5-4-4 calendar divides the year into three-month quarters. Each quarter comprises two four-week "months" and one five-week "month," arranged in the order 5-4-4.

The 5-4-4 calendar provides consistent month-to-month comparisons, as each month always contains either four or five weeks (28 or 35 days), and each day of the week happens the same number of times in each month.

Note:

A year in the 5-4-4 calendar has either 364 or 371 days, which means that approximately every fifth or sixth year is a 53-week year rather than the usual 52 weeks to align the fiscal calendar year with the Gregorian calendar year.

Offset calendar type

The Offset calendar type allows you to select the month of the year in which you want your fiscal calendar to start. When selecting the Year, or Quarter option when using the Timeframe filter in the dashboards, the data is displayed starting from the month selected for the Offset calendar type.

Note:

In a fiscal year, the first quarter (Q1) begins with the first month of the fiscal year.
