Navigating Your Calendar
By default, your Activities page shows a monthly calendar on the left and a list of calendar events in the center. You can view your calendar by day, week, or month.
To see your calendars, click the Activities tab.
For more information, see Setting Calendar Preferences.

In daily view, click a time to open a popup and create a new Event, Call, or Task. When you click a day in weekly view, the calendar changes to daily so that you can create a new entry.

Click an event to view the event's record in a wide calendar. In the narrow monthly calendar, click a date to view events for that day. Hover over a date to see the events in a popup without changing the calendar view. |
