Frequently Asked Questions

how do i create new-entries?
there are two ways you can go about doing this. from the main-page:

  • click on the icon.
  • click on the day-of-month for which you want to create an entry. This is the preferred way because you won't have to enter the start date.

how do i edit entries?
again, there are two ways.

  • from the main-page, click on the image to the left of the entry you want to edit.
  • from the view-entry-page, click on the (edit-icon) at the top.

how do i delete entries?
after getting to the edit-entry-page, click on the (del-icon) at the top.

how can i view my 'to-do' entries?
from the main-page click on icon. that'll list all the 'to-do' entries in a list. you can change the to-do status or delete the entries selectively or on a group-basis. click on again to return to month view.

how do i view entries from other calendars?
to view other calendars, you need to subscribe to them. from the main-page, click on the manage-calendars-icon. the new page will display all the calendars that you have access to. select the calendars (by checking-off the box to the left of the calendar-name) whose entries you want to view. conversely, de-select the calendar if you do not want to see the entries.

how do i create new calendars?
get to the manage-calendars page and then click on the new-icon to create new calendars.

how do i save entries to calendars other than my default?
when you create new entries, by default the entries get saved to your default calendar. this is the calendar that's created automatically when you register. this is a private calendar and no no one else has access to it.

if you've created additional calendars, then sometime you might want to write to them. the procedure is same as writing to the default calendar, except that you need to select the calendar you want to write to when you're creating a new entry. this is done by selecting a calendar name from the list when you click on the calendar-list icon at the top of the edit-entry-page.

how do i create shared-calendars?
click here to learn about creating shared-calendars.

incidentally, the link above is to a shared-calendar-entry. you can do the same thing if you have a web-site.

how do i let others use a shared-calendar i created?
once you've created a shared-calendar, then of course you have to let others know of it. essentially, you have to tell them the calendar-password. members will have to enter the password on their preferences page, go the the manage-calendars page and then subscribe to the calendar.

for most people it might be easier if a link to the shared-calendar was e-mailed to the members. this link is displayed to you after you've saved a shared-calendar. just copy-and-paste it into your e-mail.

this is preferable especially for users who are not already members at this site. firstly, once they receive the e-mail they can click on the link and they be able to view entries from the calendar without registering. if they decide to become members, then they'll be automatically subscribed to the shared-calendar in the link.

how do i let you guys know of a shared-calendar that i think would be interest to many people?
just create the calendar as you normally would for any shared-calendar. either post the link on a newsgroup or let us know of it. if we think you're right, we'll display the password on the manage-calendars page. users interested in the calendar topic will subscribe to it.

how can i get back to the main-page?
easy...just click here.
