| ==Overview==
| |
| | |
| Events are added to the calendar by one of the 4 types. The teacher can focus an event(s) for individual users, defined groups, or the course or create their own person user event. Any user can hide or show various categories of events. This site administrator can add a global event via the Front Page. With the right [[Calendar permissions]], any user can add a user event to a calendar.
| |
| | |
| :For example, if you (as a teacher) wanted to hide Group event dates (events assigned to learner Groups you create), click "Group events" on the bottom of the Calendar. This would hide all group events, and the color code would disappear from the link on the calendar. To show the events again, click the Group Events link again. This can make the calendar easier to read (especially if there are many events on the calendar). | |
| | |
| Both the daily and monthly detail screens have the New Event button. This allows you to manually add events for your classes (remember that the system will automatically add due dates for assignments, quizzes, etc. when you create those activities).
| |
| | |
| ==Preference settings==
| |
| Both the daily detail screen and the monthly detail screen have the [[Calendar preferences|Preferences button]] in the upper right. Here you can set the time format, first day of the week, number of events to show in the calendar block, days to look forward for events and if the filters on this calendar should be saved as the default for all calendars.
