Alternative Calendars Overview

The default PowerSteering calendar is a Gregorian calendar that displays dates and months as they occur traditionally. However, some organizations prefer to manage their work using alternative methods of counting days and months. For example, many organizations use 13 months of 28 days each so no month has more days than another. Other organizations prefer to manage their accounting using four equally-sized 13-week quarters, allows for better period-by-period comparisons.

Note: Alternative calendars can only be added to your site by PowerSteering. Reach out to your PowerSteering representative if you are interested.

The Alternative Calendars can be accessed in the Admin Navigation Menu under "Configuration". This menu option will only appear if there is at least one Alternative Calendar loaded.

Once loaded into PowerSteering, Alternative Calendars can be applied throughout the application on entities such as Metric Templates, Status Reports, and Report Schedules.
