Calendars are used to keep viewers informed about upcoming events at your school.  You can:

1. Create a new calendar view from scratch.
2. Create a new calendar, using existing event categories created in another calendar on your website.  

Creating a calendar with a new event category

From the area of the website where you would like to create a new calendar view:

1. Select Calendar from the Create tab to open the Calendar window:
   
2. Enter a name for your calendar view in Calendar Name. 
3. Enter a Category Name for your calendar.
4. Select the Category Type:
   • General Events are standard calendar events.
   • Background Events appear as blocks on your calendar.  This might be useful for colour-coding week numbers.
5. Select a Category Colour.
6. Select Create to create and save your calendar.

Creating a calendar using existing event categories

From the area of the website where you would like to create a new calendar view:

1. Select Calendar from the Create tab to open the Calendar window:
   
2. Enter a name for your calendar view in Calendar Name. 
3. Select Display existing calendar events in Calendar Events to view existing calendar categories:
   
4. Select one or more calendar event categories to appear in your calendar view.
5. Select Create to create and save your calendar.

You can set your calendar to integrate with Office 365, Microsoft Exchange or Google if this feature has been enabled.  Events will automatically synchronise on your website at set intervals, preventing duplication of work between internal systems and your website.
