Accessing the Calendar

The calendar enables you to enter and view time sensitive information, such has meetings and appointments. Depending on the permissions your system administrator has assigned you, you can view, add, delete, and modify activities listed in the calendar. You can view the calendar one day at a time, by the week, or by the month. Your system administrator determines the calendar view that you see.

This section discusses the default features and functionality that are available in the calendar. You might not see some of these features or might not be able to perform some functions due to your permissions. The default view for the calendar consists of one large calendar on the left with a Day tab, a Week tab, and a Month tab. Three small calendars are located on the right side. The first small calendar shows the month previous to the month displayed in the large calendar. The second calendar shows the month displayed in the large calendar. The third calendar shows the month following the month displayed in the large calendar. Today's date is highlighted in a yellow box in the appropriate small calendar.

The large calendar and the three small calendars are fully interactive. Clicking in any calendar automatically adjusts the other calendars. For example, if you select a week in the large calendar, the week will be selected in the corresponding small calendar as well.

You can double click in the large calendar to add an activity, if you have appropriate permissions. If you are adding an activity on the Day tab, double clicking on a time line automatically assigns a 30 minute time slot, which you can change. Clicking on the time located at the beginning of the line automatically assigns a 1 hour time slot, which you can change as well. If you your calendar displays an activity that exceeds 24 hours, the activity displays in the All Day row at the top of the large calendar. The calendar automatically adjusts across time zones. For example, if someone schedules a meeting for 8:00 a.m. Pacific time, the activity will appear at 10:00 a.m. Central time.
