4. In the Start Date field enter in or use the pop-up calendar to add the beginning work day for the 20-21 calendar. In the End Date field enter in or use the pop-up calendar to add the last work day for the calendar
5. In the Type field, make sure that Work Day is selected (this is the default),  If you wish to include weekend days on the calendar check the associated box next to Include Weekends.
6. Click the 'Mass Update' button to create the job calendar.
7. **IMPORTANT** Click the 'Save' button to retain the new calendar data you just entered.

9. In the Custom Start field enter or use the pop-up calendar to enter in the start date for the job calendar.
