Ex Libris should use an online calendar for Alma, Primo, etc. release dates that can be subscribed to in popular calendar software
Ex Libris posts the Alma release schedule (for prod, sandbox, etc.) at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes/010_2019/Alma_Release_Schedule_-_2019
This is great, but what would be even more useful is an online calendar that I can subscribe to in my calendar program of choice (MS Office 365, Apple Calendar app, etc.).
Even better - separate calendars for Alma, Primo, and other products that list release dates. As dates change, the calendar is automatically updated, etc.
This would be a great timesaver for System Admins who need to coordinate library work to avoid release windows, etc.

What are the steps to override the Standard Opening Hours? First, how to set-up shorter opening hours for a library (e.g. during semester break, summer hours, holidays)? Secondly, how to add (configure) an earlier opening hour?

Agreed. It would be much more useful if ExLibris used the online calendar to better track all actions. I am a big fan of calendars because I like to have an exact and clear schedule of my actions and keep track of everything that happens. I believe that it is not only my trait; and there are some other people like me. I mostly use https://www.123calendars.com/ to keep all my notes in order and have a printable copy of the schedule immediately. This website is more useful for me than Word because it’s easier to make tables there and fill them with data.

Do they use an online calendar now? It looks like a very convenient option
