The Main Form

The main form opens when you start the program. To start a new schedule you enter a client name, the year, and the month you want the schedule to apply to. The two year program will then create a blank two year calendar while the one year program creates a blank single year calendar.

(The Calendar Main Form)

You then enter your initial and default values on the Preferences form (below). Create your parenting plan by selecting the month you'd like to work on by either using the "Prev Month" or "Next Month" buttons, or (New Feature) using the month jump buttons along the left edge of the form. Begin marking overnight stays and day visits by selecting the desired mode ("Overnights" or "Day Visits") and clicking on the desired day(s). Or use built-in patterns (for example "All odd weekends"), built-in holidays, or your own custom patterns and custom lists.

You can even load in a previously completed project and use it as a template to create a new visitation schedule.

Save your work to your hard drive as your work progresses and when your project is complete.

When the schedule is complete you may either print it out or save it as an image in either bitmap or jpeg format (jpeg is great for e-mailing). All calendar printouts or images are in actual calendar format.

The Preferences Form

Whenever a new calendar schedule is started, the program "Preferences" form will appear. Information entered on the Preferences form will be globally propagated to all the other calendar program forms eliminating the need to enter names and values as you develop your schedule. Of course you may override these values on other forms whenever you desire.

Note you can also use the Preferences form at any time as you develop your schedule by clicking "Preferences" on the mainform main menu.

(The Calendar Preferences Form)

Use the Preferences form to:

Enter the Author and Title of the person developing the calendar schedule. The Author and Title will be optionally displayed in the trailer on calendar printouts.

Set the custodial and non-custodial overnight, and day visit colors of your calendar.
(Note: overnight stays and day visits apply to the non-custodial parent only)

New Feature You can work,save, and print your calendars in colors (nice for viewing and emailing) or you can optionally print in black and white if you have a black and white printer or just want to save some ink.

Enter default overnight stay and day visit pickup and dropoff times. These times will propagate to all other forms and save you a lot of time. You can of course override these values on other forms as desired.

Change the parental titles from "custodial" and "non-custodial" to appropriate titles of your choosing, for example "Mother" and "Father" or "Alice" and "Pete". Entered names will propagate to all forms as necessary.

Enter assumed overnight stay, and day visit times as well as sleep and nap times. Note: The overnight stay and day visit times are used only if you do NOT enter explicit pickup and dropoff times on your calendar. Sleep time and nap time are used for quality time calculations (only available in the Parenting Time Calendar 2-Year and deluxe versions).
