Default date

The start date of the calendar can be defined. There are two options to do this:

  • Current Date - The current date will be set up as the default value.
  • Last Unfilled Date - Returns the oldest blank day of the past week by default. If each and every day is logged appropriately, then the current day is returned. When determining the oldest blank day, the plugin considers the list of exclude and include dates.
