/////CALENDAR USAGE\\\\\\

--> Login and browse to settings preferences. 
Adjust the system to your needs. It should be self-explanatory. 
(WATCH OUT: when setting email settings and you tick yes in one 
of the checkboxes, the system will ALWAYS send you in the case 
of the event an email! this could get pretty annoying). 


--> Publishing an event: 
	Event --> Add New Event 

Details: The form should be self-explanatory. You can add a category as well by which you can filter the events in your calendar. More for Categories, see below. 

Participants: If you tick the participants, your event will show up on their calendar autmotically as well. 

Repeat: Reoccurring events

Reminders: Send email reminders to the previous set participants (you can time the time, when the email gets sent); 

 

--> Additional Features 
	Views --> Another User's Calendar 
Choose a calendar of another user. we are all allowed to look into each others calendar.  
If you see an event on another user's calendar that is not on your calendar, 
the event details page will provide a link to add the event to your calendar.

	Views --> Manage Views
You can compare calendars of users to each other in several views, like a timeline. For details please see below. 


	Settings --> Layers 
Layers allow you to put another user's calendar on top of yours, to overlay your calendar with the other one. For details please see below. 



Notes:

    * If you did not create the event, then you can only delete the event from your own calendar. Other users will still have the event on their calendar.
    * If you did not create the event, you will not be able to edit the event. Only the user who created the event can edit it.
    * All changes to an event (accepting/rejecting, updating, deleting) are logged and are viewable to the system administrator.

Categories

If your system is not configured to use categories, you may skip this section.

Events may be associated with a category, but it is not required. Categories can be user-level or global. Each user maintains his own list of user-level categories 
and the system administrator maintains the list of global categories.

When creating or editing event, you may specify the category for the event. If you include participants other than yourself, the category that other 
users will see will be "None" (if you selected one of your user-level categories) or the same category you selected (if you selected a global category).

When viewing the calendar (month, week or day), you will see a selection box near the top of the page that allows you to filter events based on a category. 
When you select a category from this menu, only events associated with that category will appear in your calendar. 



Views

Views* allow you to see the calendar of more than one user (or NonCalendar User) at a time. You can create a new view by using the "Manage Views" link at the bottom of each page. 
There are a handful of different types of views with picture examples in the complete User Manual. 




Layers

Layers* allow you to overlay another user's calendar on top of your calendar. You can add a new layer to your calendar by selecting the "Edit Layers" link at the bottom of each page.

When adding the layer, you can choose a color. When an event from the layer specified in the layer is displayed on your calendar, the text of the event will appear in this color.

TIP: On slow servers, you may find that layers cause the month view to be considerably slower. Set your default view to be "Week" rather than "Month" in your Preferences.

TIP: If you have more than one configuration of users that you would like to use with layers, you can create more than one "Daily" View to do this.
