Calendar

In the module calendar, you have the possibility to manage your appoinments for yourself and together with your your colleagues. Depending on the selection, you will see the appointments in a daily, weekly, monthly or 3-month view for all or only selected employees. All employees have access to the same calendar while you can restrict this access to purely private appointments or grant access to specific appointments only to certain user groups who have the necessary user rights.

Tipp:

When editing a single appointment of a series of recurring dates the optional notification email will refer to the date of the first appointment of the reccuring occurences! To avoid any misunderstandings with the recipients of the notification we advise you to rather delete the single appointment from the series and create a new appointment for the single date that had to changed because then the notification will be distinct.
