About Calendar Formats


The configuration of your Siebel application determines the availability of certain features. Therefore, the calendar formats you see can differ from the calendar formats described in this topic. Calendar format buttons appear in the Calendar screen. Table 18 describes the calendar format buttons.

Table 18. Calendar Format Buttons
Button
Name
Description

Switch to daily view button

Displays your activities that are scheduled for the selected day.

Switch to weekly view button

Displays your activities that are scheduled for the selected week. You can designate a 5-Day-Weekly format or a 7-Day-Weekly format in your user preferences. For more information, see Setting Up Default Calendar Formats.

Switch to monthly view button

Displays your activities that are scheduled for the selected month. In the Monthly calendar format, you can place your cursor over a day to see a full list of the day's activities.

If the current date appears in the calendar format, then that date is automatically selected and highlighted in a color (for example, yellow) when you access a calendar. If you click a time slot in the calendar, then that time slot is highlighted in a color (for example, blue).

You can navigate to a date in calendar formats in the following ways:

  • Click the left arrow button to the left of the calendar title to navigate to the previous calendar interval and the right arrow button to the right of the calendar title to navigate to the next calendar interval.

    The calendar title determines the calendar interval to which you navigate. For example, if the calendar title is August 6 - 12, 2012, then the calendar is in the Weekly calendar format. When you click the left arrow button, you navigate to the calendar for the previous week, and when you click the right arrow button, you navigate to the calendar for the next week.

  • Click the Today button to navigate to the current date when the current date does not appear in the displayed calendar format.
  • Click the calendar select button to navigate to a date. This date does not have to appear in the displayed calendar format.

    When you click the calendar select button, you access the calendar control. Unlike the calendar control for fields, the calendar control for the Calendar screen does not include an OK button and a Now button that you can click to select a date. In the calendar control for the Calendar screen, you click a date to select the date. For more information about the calendar control, see About the Calendar Control.

  • In the Monthly calendar format, click a date in the calendar.
