The following table describes the fields on the Planned Installation Calendar panel.

Field	Description
Starting date	This is the calendar date for the first day in the row. Each row displays seven days. The Starting Date in an ALL environment is the system date for today. The Starting Date in a D or DP environment is the system date for yesterday. If a package is scheduled for simultaneous installation at multiple sites (for example, at 00:01 GMT everywhere rather than at 00:01 local time everywhere), the installation date might be yesterday at a site because of a time zone difference.
#	Displays the total number of packages scheduled for installed on that day at this site.
Max	A data entry field for the maximum number of planned packages that may be scheduled for install on that day for this site. The maximums are initially set to zero for all dates. To reset MAX for all dates, type SETALL nnn on the command line. To set MAX for all occurrences of a day of the week, type SETddd nnn (example: SETMON 123). To reset the MAX for one date, over typing the MAX number for that day. To block scheduling installs for any planned packages on a given date, leave MAX at zero for that day. To set MAX to an unlimited number of unplanned packages for all days or for a specific day, type SETALL 255 or SETddd 255 on the command line. The value of the maximum number of planned packages is displayed as UNL. If a site was created only for promotion to a local site, leave MAX set to zero for all dates.
Totals #	Displays the total number of packages scheduled for install in that week at this site.
Totals Max	Displays the maximum number of planned packages that may be scheduled for install in that week at this site.

...

The # and TOTALS # fields are automatically incremented when change packages are created. These fields are automatically decremented when change packages are rescheduled or installed.
