Managing the Group Calendar

If your group has a calendar, members will be able to open it using a link on the homepage, or through a drop-down menu of all calendars to which they belong from within the Calendar application. As group leader, you are responsible for maintaining the calendar or delegating calendar administration to another member of the group.

The Calendar application allows you to add events and tasks you want group members to see.  You can access the Group calendar from the Group Homepage by clicking the Manage Calendar link located under Content Tools.
Use these steps to add an event or task to the Group calendar:

1. Click New Event or New Task.
   
   
2. Use the fields provided to enter a title for the event or task, the appropriate date and time range, and other descriptive items.  The “Invite other users” area will be prepopulated with the information necessary to post the event to all members of the group.  If you are entering a task, it can only be a task that you can view and respond to.
   
   
3. Click OK when you finish entering information about the event or task.  If you entered an event, all members will be able to see it in their calendars.  As the group leader, you can also set options for the calendar.  For more information on setting options, click the help icon located in the Calendar application.
