In the personal Calendar users can schedule events and monitor their tasks. Apart from the personal calendar, ELMA365 has calendar-type apps. Events from these apps also appear in a user's personal calendar. To learn more, see Event apps.
Let's say the HR department uses two calendars created via event apps: one for interviews and one for department meetings. In the first calendar, the HR employees add meetings with applicants manually. In the events of the second calendar, each HR employee is added as a participant. In this case, an HR employee's personal calendar will display both the interviews and department meetings.
If a person has been assigned to a managerial position in the company's organizational chart, they will be able to view the events of their subordinates. To learn more, see My department.
Calendar interface
Here is what the personal calendar of an employee may look like:
- The counter on the left panel shows the number of events scheduled for the current date. The counter doesn't show closed events.
- The left menu features the following calendars.
- My Events is the personal calendar of the current user;
- My Department is displayed for heads of departments and contains calendars of their subordinates. Click Show more to open the My Department page;
- Available to Me is displayed if the current user has been given access to the calendar of another user. Click Show more to open the list of all the available calendars.
- Events are displayed in calendar cells. The events that have ended are crossed out.
- The toolbar is located above the calendar:
Change view: calendar or schedule;
Export events from the personal calendar;
Go to the current day;
Switch between periods, for example, months;
Chosen display period: month, week, day;
Create a new event. If you try to schedule more than one event for the same time slot, the system will show you a warning.
By default, the first day of the week in the calendar is Monday. Users included in the Administrators group can change it for Sunday. Also, it is possible to change the week numbering format. To learn more, see Company settings.
