Calendar preferences

Q. 

How do I set my Calendar preferences? Can I customize my calendar?

A.

The Calendar displays four types of events: Global, Course, Group, and User. Activities in a course that have a due date associated with them will auto populate a Course Calendar event on the specified due date. Users can add events to their personal Calendar which will only be visible to them. Preferences for first day of the week, number of events to display, and remember filter settings are available to be customized by the individual user. Customize the Calendar by following the steps below.




1. Locate the Calendar block and click the month link.
Note: The calendar block can also be accessed by going to the Upcoming Events block and clicking Go to calendar...

2. Click on the Preferences button. Calendar preferences will appear.

3. Determine Preferences settings, then click Save changes.

- Time display format will show times in 12 or 24 hour format. If left Default the format will be automatically chosen according to the language used in the site.
- First day of week will determine which day will start off the week.
- Maximum upcoming events determines have many events can be displayed.
- Upcoming events look-ahead sets the maximum number of days in the future that an event has to start in order to be displayed as an upcoming event.
- Remember filter settings, if this is enabled then TLEARN will remember the last events filter settings and automatically restore them each time a user logs in.

Note: While it is permissible to simply accept default values, a user must select Yes for Remember filter settings to enable TLEARN to keep the filter settings for the user every time they log in. It is possible to return to this page and edit these settings at any time, of course.
