End-User Procedures for Managing an Events Calendar

End users can see a list of upcoming events at any time by viewing the events calendar. The first part of this section describes how you can use the events calendar to learn about new events and sessions for which you may want to register.

After you register for a session within an event, your Siebel application also displays the session on your personal calendar. The second part of this section describes how you can view session details from your personal calendar and set an alarm to receive online session reminders.

Viewing Event Details from the Events Calendar

You can use the events calendar to view all events that are scheduled for the day, week, or month in a calendar format. Each event listing displays a link that takes you to details about the event and associated sessions.

In the Events Calendar view, you can find out details about an event, for example the type, status, and description, by placing your mouse pointer over the Event Name link. In addition, you can view all the events planned for the day by placing your mouse pointer over the date in the Events Calendar view.
