In particular, for any given day, you can view the items that would be coming up on that day or the next few days. You can also view a list of the items that have been added in the last few days. One of the key UI features of the new calendar is the navigation mini calendar which appears in the upper left corner. This is similar to the mini calendar seen on Yahoo or Excite and provides a quick and convenient mechanism for navigating to different dates and between the various views. The first key ACS integration feature is automatic group calendars.
Any group can have a calendar associated with it.
For any group that a user is a member of with a calendar, a link to that group's calendar will appear on the user's calendar, and, by default, any items in the group's calendar will also appear on the user's calendar. There is a simple toggle provided to turn off displaying the group items for a particular group. So it could provide support, for example, for a meeting planning system or a workflow system. The calendar package has also been used to replace and augment the old calendar module. It provides basically the same UI as currently and will be upgraded as time permits.
