Using the WebEvent Icon Bar 

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

From left to right, the functions accessible via the icon bar are:

Search: Enter a keyword to search one or more calendars. Specify start and end dates to narrow your search. (By default the start date is today’s date.)

Subscribe: Subscribe to one or more calendars to receive event change notifications and/or reminders for upcoming events via email. (The Site Administrator must enable this feature for it to be available on a given calendar.)

Print: Open a new window to display a stripped-down, ready-to-print version of the current calendar view. (In most circumstances, clicking the “Print” icon will also automatically launch a print dialog box from your browser so that you only need to click “Print” or “OK” in that dialog box to print the current view.)

Options:  Users with appropriate privileges can access Calendar and/or Site Configuration screens. All users can change various viewing options for the current session and export calendar data via the “WebEvent Options” form:

Export Calendar: Export events within a specified date range from one or more calendars.

Format: View the events as a list or in calendar grid format.

Mode: Change to view-only or modify mode. In Modify Mode, clicking on an event in the calendar will access the Modify Event screen (assuming that you have write access to that calendar). In View Mode, clicking on an event in the calendar will display the event details.

Timezone: Select the appropriate timezone for your location.

Use 24-hour Clock: Designate your preferred time format (12- or 24-hour).

Show Weekends: Show or hide Saturday and Sunday. (This has no effect on list views.)

Show Event Type Icons: Turn the “To-do” icons (an exclamation point for incomplete tasks and a checkmark for completed tasks) on or off.

Show Details: Choose between showing event details on the current page or clicking on the event to read the description. (Event details will be listed beneath the calendar grid in calendar view and will directly follow each event in list view.)

Show Icon Bar: Turn the icon bar section on or off. (If you elect to hide the icon bar, a "View Options" link will appear at the bottom of the screen to allow access again.)

Show Event Author: Turn the event author credit on or off.

Start Week On: Specify the first day of the week for calendar views.

Event Sorting: Specify the order in which events should be displayed on each date. (For example, you may prefer that untimed events such as birthdays be listed before each day’s tasks.)

Click “Change options” to begin viewing events with the options you have designated. Or select “Cancel Changes” to return to the calendar and view events with the default options.

Help: Access the user’s guide for help using and configuring WebEvent.

Login/Logout: Depending on the privileges granted your user account, clicking the “Login” icon and entering your WebEvent username and password may allow you to access additional calendars and configuration screens.  If you are already logged in, clicking on the Logout button will log you out and provide the option of returning to the WebEvent startup page.
