The calendar is very functional and customers can select from many options for their own calendar. Whereas some options can be performed at the Calendar level by the customers, others require the customer to contact our Calendar help desk to implement.

Security

• You can set your own password

• You can hide entries from others that have access to your calendars

• No one but you and our reception staff can see your calendar unless you approve. Each calendar has its own security settings; user can have different permissions in each calendar. One of five levels of security can be assigned to a user for a calendar

Note that each level of security includes those rights from all less-privileged levels.

• Title, Header, Footer - the text and/or images for the title, header, footer, and page background is tailored to you
• Colors - colors of events, headers, footers, popups, etc. Note that you can follow the More Color Options link at the bottom of the Color Settings page for more color settings, such as colors for List View, Menu Bars, etc.
• Fonts - similar to colors; font faces and sizes to use for various display elements
• Language - what language to use for displayed strings
• Time Conflicts - whether to allow the entry of events with conflicting times. You can ignore conflicts, never allow them, or allow them after warning the user. You can also specify an "event separation" to ensure that events are at least a certain number of minutes apart.
• Require Approval - if this option is selected, events created by users with Add permission will not immediately appear on the calendar. The information will be saved, but the events will not appear until a user with Edit or Admin rights approves the event. These privileged users will see an "Approve Events" link in the bottom calendar menu; this link will display a form that can be used to accept or reject tentative events.
• Event Ownership - you can allow anyone with Edit Permission to edit or delete existing events, or restrict such activities to the user who actually created the event
• Past Event Protection - whether or not to allow users to add, edit, or delete events that occur prior to the current date
• Future Event Limit - whether or not to allow the entry of events that are "too far in the future". You can specify how far is "too far".
• Event Sorting - controls the order in which events in a day are listed; events can be sorted alphabetically, by start time, by category, or by the name of the calendar they are included from. The sort priority is configurable; e.g. "first sort by category, then by time for events in the same category, then alphabetically".
• Event Categories - Event Categories can be used to establish default colors for certain events and for sorting transaction types. Can only me modified by Help Desk.
• Add-Ins - Add-Ins are files of pre-defined events that you can include in your calendars. For instance, you might want to include events like holidays or phases of the moon in all your calendars. Calcium comes with a few such files, and you can easily create your own additional ones.
• Include Events from other Calendars - You can specify that events from other calendars should be included when you display your calendar. When events are added or changed in the included calendar, you'll automatically see those changes on your calendar.
• Deleting a range of Events - If you have Administer permission in a calendar, you can delete a large number of events at once using the Delete Events link from the Calendar Settings page. Follow that link, then specify the date range; all events which occur between those dates will be deleted. If a repeating event occurs in the date range, that event definition will only be deleted if all occurrences of that repeating event occur in the range.

Importing/Exporting -  can import and export event data in a number of plain ASCII formats. This can be used to get all your event data into a spreadsheet or external database, or to load another WDG Calendar with events you've defined elsewhere.There are formats specific to WDG Calendars, as well as other standard formats suitable for Microsoft Outlook, and for other calendar programs which use the Internet standard "iCalendar" format - e.g. Apple's iCal, the Google calendar, and others.

• Auditing – Please discuss with Help Desk
• HTML in Events - whether or not to ignore HTML tags in event and popup text. You can disable processing of embedded tags if you are concerned about people entering malicious HTML, Javascript, or Java into your calendars.
