Video summary
In one sentence Steelhead now lets you define your shop's real business calendar — working days, hours, holidays,
and closures — so lead time deadlines reflect how your shop actually operates instead of
a default Monday-through-Friday assumption.
What this video covers It opens on the problem — lead time deadlines that assume a standard Monday-through-Friday week
— then walks through the setup wizard in Domain Settings: selecting normal working days (including
an optional Saturday), setting typical shop hours, and using Advanced to override hours for
specific days, with a reset-to-default option.

It shows saving or jumping into Choose Holidays to mark non-working days, then generating the
calendar. The generated view supports monthly and yearly modes with a color-coded key that
doubles as a filter for working days, weekends, and holidays.

It finishes by editing a specific day (marking July 3rd as a holiday since July
4th falls on a Saturday), showing the click-to-toggle status options on any day, the
Edit Details flow for a custom short day with its own label and hours, and
the reset and Delete Year options for starting over.
Problem it solves Without a way to define which days and hours a shop actually operates, lead time calculations
default to assuming Monday through Friday, ignoring real weekend work, holidays, and shop closures
— throwing off due dates and delivery promises.

with a label and custom hours, then Save
• Reset settings (overwrites calendar) or Delete Year to clear everything
• Close: set up the calendar so lead time math matches how you operate day to
day

Speaker Voice over / Host
Transcript [00:00] You can now define your shop's business calendar so lead time deadlines skip your
real weekends, holidays, and closures instead of assuming Monday through Friday at all times.

[00:10] [navigates to Domain Settings] Within Domain Settings, click the Business Calendar link.

[00:14] [clicks Get Started] Get started.

[00:16] [selects working days] Here, select your normal working days. Let's add Saturday.

[00:19] [sets typical working hours] Add your typical working hours. Maybe your shop works 7:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m.

[00:23] [opens Advanced settings] Under Advanced, you can change times for specific days. For example, let's
put Saturday at 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and you can reset back to default
if needed.

[00:33] [saves or opens Choose Holidays] Save, or click Choose Holidays to mark holidays as non-working
days.

[00:38] [clicks Generate Calendar] Then Generate Calendar.

[00:41] [views the generated calendar] Here, you'll see your working calendar. You can change to the yearly
view, reference the key. These also function as filters: working days, weekends, holidays.

[00:51] [adjusts a specific day] Let's say we want to adjust July 3rd this year because
the 4th falls on a Saturday. We're going to mark this as a holiday.

[01:01] [clicks a day to edit] Just click on any day to mark it as working,
weekend, holiday, or closure. Or if you click Edit Details, maybe you have a short
day — give it a label and add those hours here, then Save.

[01:12] [resets or clears the calendar] If you need to go back and reset your settings,
click here. This will overwrite the current calendar. Or if you want to clear everything,
click Delete Year.

[01:21] Set up your calendar today so lead time math matches how you operate day to
day.
