The calendar is a web-based calendar application. In addition to the standard functions of creating, modifying, and deleting events, it currently supports recurring events (with exceptions and various deletion options), alarms, import and export functions (iCalendar and CSV formats), iCalendar invitations, multiple calendar views, shared calendars, display of Task List, and ability to show events in the summary screen.
Menu
•The Today Menu item will display your default view (month, week, day, etc. as set in Options) for the current date.
•The Goto menu item will display a small pop-up window in which you can quickly select a month, week of the year, or day of the month to go to. This is usually the quickest way to move within the calendar.
•The Day tab will display the day view of the currently selected day.
•The Work Week tab will display the work week view (Monday through Friday) closest to the currently selected day.
•The Week tab will display the week view (7 day view) for the week containing the currently selected day.
•The Month tab will display the month view for the month containing the currently selected day.
•The New Event menu item will allow you to create a new event to be added to a calendar.
•The Options menu item allows you to set Options (or preferences) that control the look and feel of your calendar, and manage multiple and shared calendars.
•The Import/Export menu item allows you to import or export calendar events. Currently you can import files in CSV, Microsoft Outlook, and vCalendar/iCalendar formats. You can export to only CSV and iCalendar formats.
•Alarm -Your calendar can generate alarms for events in a calendar. By default, the first alarm is generated fifteen minutes before the appointment is supposed to start, but the alarm can be set (per event) to occur at almost any interval before the event start time.
•Recurring Events - Events can be made to repeat in various ways. Many events repeat in certain frequently used ways. For example, the Monthly recurrence types make the selected item repeat each month and the Weekly recurrence type makes the selected item repeat each per week. These can be made to represent events that repeat in complex ways: for example, an item that occurs on the third Friday of each month, or an item that occurs on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday every week.
• You can also restrict how long an event repeats by selecting the end date for the event's recurrence.
• Normally, a modification to a repeating event applies to all occurrences of that event. A single occurrence of a repeating event can be modified by editing the occurrence, removing its recurrence information, and then choosing the Save as New option from the Repeat menu. The selected occurrence can now be modified independently of the other occurrences.
•Printing Calendars and Events - Certain views are designed to be printable. When in one of these views, a Print icon will appear in the top menu bar. Use this menu icon to print the current view.
•Calendar Permissions - Here should go a few explanations on the different users and groups that permissions can be assigned to. This should be a place to explain the different permission types and what they mean regarding to events and calendars.
