How to use the calendar.
Allen Hopkins, 19 Dec 2001

You can view any workgroup calendar for which you have been giving read permission by the workgroup's administrator. (This includes the general GSRC calendar, which is just a workgroup calendar for the "gsrc" workgroup.)

You can click on an event title on the calendar to view whatever detailed information has been provided by the originator of that event.

To edit, delete or add an event for a given day, click on the date number for that day in the calendar display page. If the date numbers are not clickable, you do not have write or modify permission for that calendar.

Clicking the date number takes you to a page containing a list of the events for that day and a form to enter a new event. If you have modify permission in the calendar, each of the events listed will have an "Edit" and "Delete" link that you can click for that event. If you only have write (and not modify) permission in the calendar, only those events that were originated by yourself will be editable and deletable. The others will show a description of the originator instead of the "Edit" and "Delete" links.

Clicking "Delete" will take you to a page asking for confirmation before deleting the event.

Clicking "Edit" will take you to a form for changing your event. The form does some validity checking -- the end time cannot precede the start time, and you cannot enter both detail text and a detail URL. If your event has "detail text", a user who clicks on that event will see that text in a popup window. If your event has a "detail URL", then the user who clicks on that event will instead be taken to a web page with that URL for further information about the event.
