Group Calendar


	Where am I?

This is a group calendar. It's a public calendar that is meant for the use of a group of people such as a workgroup. The group members can create events and tasks in this calendar, and all other members can see them and copy them to their own personal calendars.


	What can I do here?

Change the view

As well as the usual views, there are special calendar views:

View	Description	To display
month	Shows the least detail, and highlights the current day.	Choose View > View by Month.
week	Highlights the current day.	Choose View > View by Week.
day	Shows the most detail, in time slots. Tasks and untimed events are displayed at the top of this view.	Choose View > View by Day.
work week	Shows only your work week days, in day view.	Choose View > View by Work Week
Today list	Shows tasks that start today or are still ongoing and events that take place today. Tasks are listed before events, with urgent tasks and events before nonurgent ones. This view appears in a pane to the left of the calendar. It includes a mini month pane. The bigger you make this pane, the more months you will see in it. Days containing events are in bold.	Choose View > View Today List.

Navigate to different dates

To move to different dates in the calendar, click the navigation buttons in the top right corner. To return to today's date, click Today. You can also click a date in the mini month pane under the Today list to move to that date.

Create events

To create an event in the group calendar:

Click New.

Update the Event form.

If you are setting up a meeting, you can invite others who don't have access to this calendar using the Participants tab. When you add the name of someone who also has a personal calendar on your server, FirstClass shows you their availability for your suggested meeting time. In the same way, you can book resources (such as a projector) on this tab.

You can make your event a repeating event, and also generate a reminder for yourself.

Create tasks

To create a task in the group calendar:

Choose New Task from the New button.

Update the Task form.

You can generate reminders for yourself that will pop up before the start and due dates.

Import and export events and tasks

You can also import (and export) calendar events and tasks.

Share the calendar with others

To make this calendar accessible to other users in the group, set calendar permissions:

Choose Collaborate > Permissions.

Update the Permissions form.
