There are three types of calendars in [[SmartSimple]] – personal calendars, shared calendars, and resource calendars.
==Personal Calendar==
Every [[User|user]] has a personal calendar.
If someone else schedules an event and associates you with the event, it will also appear on your calendar.
Calendar entries can be color-coded, and users are able to switch between event coloring based on [[Event Types|event type]] or calendar type on the fly from a drop down menu at the top of the calendar.
Initially, your calendar will be private but you can choose to share your calendar with other groups of people.
==Shared Calendars==
Shared calendars are used to track activities not specifically associated with any single person. You can use these calendars to track activities such as training schedules, meeting room schedules, or statutory holidays.
In order to create a shared calendar you must have the '''Create Calendar''' permission.
==Resource Calendars==
Resource calendars are associated with people (or other types of resources) that don’t log into the system, but who have calendars that need to be managed.
* Once this feature is enabled you can access a new activity type – '''Available'''. This type of activity is used to indicate that a resource is available for assignment to a task.
==Calendar List==
Choosing the '''Calendars''' [[Menu|menu]] in the '''Communications''' [[Menu|menu]] will display a list of all calendars.
The '''Calendar''' list is displayed.

==Navigating the Calendar==
The arrows to the left and right of the month and year are used to move the calendar display from month to month.
