The most important thing about yearly grids design, is knowing when not to use it.

•A layout showing a whole year is not necessarily a yearly GridTemplate in Q++Studio. For example, a calendar displaying 12 months on 2 pages often uses a monthly structure.

•Yearly structures are less common. They are typically used for title pages and pages displaying one or more years as mini-calendars, as illustrated below. The structure is specified in scanned template properties.

The 2 most common examples are title pages and multiyear mini-calendar pages, as shown in the examples below:

The cases in which a template's structure is set to yearly, usually involve a grid with only one DayValue per page and then 12 (or even 24 or 26) mini-calendars to display a year or more in mini-calendars.

When you scan this kind of GridTemplate, because there is only one DayValue of 1 per page, Q++Studio proposes a day/page structure, which you then override.

Use the Start On option to determine the date which corresponds to DayValue = 1. It can either be the first of the year (January 1st) or the beginning of the week that contains January 1st (in that case, which weekday it is will be determined by the week starts on setting of the GridOptions).
