Calendar Gear

Module name: calendar

The Calendar Gear displays a monthly list of important events for the community. An event added to the Calendar Gear can be labeled private, in which case only the user who entered the event can view it, or public/community, in which case the event is visible to all visitors of a community.

Instance Configuration

To configure an instance of the Calendar Gear:

  1. Enter the Community Administration and click the configure link for the gear instance.

  2. In the configuration basics page, enter a gear name and description. Select sharing and Make visible to options and click Done.

  3. Click the additional configurations link.

  4. On the calendar parameters page, select basic or detailed for the calendar default event type. Detailed events will prompt for name and address information for the event. Select a calendar year end. The calendar will allow the creation of events only until the end of the year you specify.

  5. Click the permissions link. This page governs who can create private and public events. By default, users with the calWriter role can create only private events; users with the calAdmin role can create public or private events. Set the Allow open access to create public and private events? field to true to permit anyone who can use the Calendar gear instance to create a public or private event. Set the Allow open access to create private events only? field to true to permit anyone who can use the Calendar gear instance to create a private event.

    See the Assigning and Revoking Roles topic for more information about calendar roles.

  6. Click the alerts page. This page governs whether users receive an alert when an calendar event is created, modified, or deleted.

Assigning and Revoking Roles

You can further configure an instance of the Calendar Gear by assigning or revoking roles in the gear instance. The calendar role, together with the permissions setting, determines who can view or create private or public events. To assign a role:

  1. Enter the Community Administration and go to the Current Gear Instances page.

  2. Click the Assign/Revoke Roles link for the Calendar Gear.

  3. Use the dropdown list and the search feature in step 2 of the Assign/Revoke gear role page to locate the individual user or organization whose role you want to change.

  4. Click the Assign/Revoke Roles link for that individual or organization. Check or uncheck the box for the roles you want to assign or revoke.
