A Custom Calendar is a unique feature of Infoveave that lets you define custom calendars. This enables you to create separate timelines, a Financial Calendar, or an Annual Calendar with custom quarters, instead of the standard Gregorian calendar, for which all aggregations, filtering, and visualizations are calculated. Calendars can be customized at a weekly or monthly level.

2. To add a new Custom Calendar, click **New Custom Calendar**. The dialog box appears.
