Calendar

The built-in LIMBAS calendar can be used as an individual calendar or as a group calendar. Calendar information is located at the right side of your screen in the Media Menu. Click on Calendar in the Media Menu and the calendar opens in the Work Area. Calendar / Events are displayed in the Work Area and in the Quick View.

Note: The text in the Media menu (in this example, 'Calendar') is assigned by the ADMIN and is therefore variable. You can have multiple calendars in the Media Menu. (Personal Calendar, Group Calendar or a calendar for room reservation)

Calendar Menu

The settings for the calendar can be found under [Admin -> Tables -> Scheduling -> Calendar settings].
