Calendars are used to define working days, working hours, and holidays for users in an organization. After a calendar is assigned to a user, Quixy uses it to understand when the user is working.
In organizations where employees work in different shifts, you can create separate calendars for each shift. For example, an admin can create three calendars with working hours from (9 AM to 6 PM, 2 PM to 11 PM, and 6 PM to 3 AM) and assign them to users based on their shift.
Calendars are used across the platform for time-based features such as:
¶ 1. Configure a Calendar

8. Select the working hours from the time slots and click Add to include the day.
