  First Day Of Week — This setting controls the first day of a displayed week in places that do not have an individual configuration point. In these cases, the calendar is displayed based on the locale. For example, the first day of the week for the en_US locale is Sunday and for the first day of the week for the en_UK locale is Monday.

  Other components may be configured separately. For example, Schedule Planner uses the Schedule Period, which you can customize individually.

  Select from the following:

  • Sunday
  • Monday
  • Tuesday
  • Wednesday
  • Thursday
  • Friday
  • Saturday

  Display Week Number — Select Yes to display the week numbers that correspond to the calendar weeks. By default, this setting is disabled.

  When this setting is enabled, everyone who is assigned to the locale policy can see the week numbers displayed in the UI.

  Note:

  • The week numbers are based on the ISO 8601 standard calendar.
  • If a day other than Sunday is selected in the First Day of Week setting, ensure that the same day is configured for all other calendars (such as ESS Calendar and Forecast Category Attributes) in order for the correct week numbers to display.
