Using the WebEvent Navigation Tools 

Leave this window open as you use the main web page to navigate the calendar.

Date & User Bar: The left-hand side of the dark blue Date & User bar defines the date range currently on display. The right-hand side of the bar defines your current user status. (If you have not logged in to the current WebEvent session, your username is "guest".)

Triple Arrows: The triple arrows that surround the date range currently displayed (such as <<<September 2001>>>) in the Date & User bar can be used to move forward or back one calendar page at a time. For example, in day view, clicking the forward arrows (>>>) will advance you a single day.

Timeframe Tabs: The yellow and blue file folder tabs (labeled day, week, 2-week, month, and year) allow one-click access to a different timeframe. For example, if you are currently in month view, clicking the week view tab will bring you to a screen showing only the week which contains the active day. (The active day is either today’s date, or whichever date you have most recently acted upon.)

Go-to-Date Menus: To visit a specific date, select the appropriate month, day and year using the “go-to-date” pull-down menus (just above the file folder timeframe tabs) and click the “Go” button. (The date will be displayed in the current timeframe view. So, if, while in month view, you selected September 20, 2001 with the “go-to-date” pull-down menus, the month of September will display and the 20th will be highlighted as the active day.)

Each time WebEvent loads a new screen, the “go-to date” pull-down menus default to today’s date. Therefore, the recommended way to refresh your screen and see the most recent changes other users have made to the calendar, is to click the “Go” button associated with the “go-to-date” pull-down menus (rather than using your browser’s “Reload” or “Refresh” button.)

Jump to Today: One-click access to today’s date. (This is also the recommended way to refresh your screen (in lieu of using your browser’s “Reload” or “Refresh” button) to see the most recent changes other users have made to the calendar.)

Choose Calendars: To change the calendar(s) contained in the current view, use the “Choose Calendars” pull-down menu on the right-hand side of the screen, above the Date & User bar. To choose a single calendar which is contained in the current view, highlight a calendar name underneath “From Current View” and click “Go.”

To choose calendars from the complete list of available calendars, highlight “From Full List” and click “Go”. On the “Select Calendar” screen, highlight the calendar(s) you want to view and click the “View Selected Calendar(s)” button. (Macintosh users should hold down the “Apple” key to select and deselect calendars; PC users should use the “Control” key.) To view all the calendars to which you have access, click the “View All Calendars” button.

In installations where the number of calendars and/or users is greater than the threshhold number (the default threshhold number is 50), the scalable interface will automatically launch to simplify interaction. See The Scalable Interface for more information.

Filter Events by Category: To specify the category(s) of events contained in the current view, use the “Filter Events by Category” pull-down menu on the right-hand side of the screen, above the Date & User bar. To view one category of events, highlight a category name underneath “Choose Single Category” and click “Go.”

To view events from a combination of categories, highlight “Select Multiple Categories” and click “Go”. On the “Select Categories” screen, select one or more categories and click the “Filter on selected category(s)” button. (Macintosh users should hold down the “Apple” key to select and deselect categories; PC users should use the “Control” key.) To view events in all categories, click the “Filter on all categories” button.
