Calendar in 3.4

The calendar can display site, course, group, user and - new in 3.4 - category events in addition to assignment and quiz deadlines, chat times and other course events. Note the colour coding on the screenshot below.

New events may be added either by clicking the button or by clicking into an empty space in the desired day in the calendar.
When adding, editing or deleting events, the event displays in a pop-up window.
Those with permissions to edit categories may also add category events as here:

Events created manually may be dragged and dropped to different dates, as can Feedback activity, Assignment activity and Choice activity events. (For activities, the dates will then change in the activity itself when dragged to a different date on the calendar.)

A calendar may be included in a course or the site Front page by adding a Calendar block or an Upcoming Events block.

-==Overview==
+[[File:CalendarDragMove.png]]
-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 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 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.
