Managing event calendars

Calendars are used to both colour and group events for easy filtering and recognition on Events | Manage and on teacher’s individual calendar screens.

Typically, schools will have calendars set up for each of their school years. (the Year 7 calendar, the Year 8 calendar etc). When you are creating and managing your school events, if you put them onto the relevant school calendar you will easily be able to see everything that is going on for a particular school year.

Events can belong to more than one calendar. For example, the years 7 and 8 science incursion can be on both the Year 7 Calendar and the Year 8 calendar.

The different calendars you have, plus the calendar colour is managed via Calendar | Events | Calendars.
