The system has a built in calendar accessory to help you manage your day, and the events that are created within the schedule can be exported to Microsoft outlook if you use that program. Depending on your permissions assigned in the employee set up section you can view, add, edit and or delete appointments for yourself and others. Days visible in Bold are one's that have events schedules on them.
You will be defaulted to viewing and or adding events to your own calendar, as you can see the username in the drop down menu above the calendar itself and if given the proper permission(s) can access other people's calendars to manage as well. The rest of this article will go through how to create and manage your calendar events.
