Entering an Event

  1. Click on the ‘Calendar’ icon in the toolbar.
  2. Double-click on an empty space in the calendar to start a new event.
  3. Enter the ‘Description’ of the event.
  4. Select the start and end times/dates.
  5. Select which users you want to see this event in the drop down labeled ‘Share event with’.
