Depending on whether an individual calendar or a group calendar is being viewed, newly created items will be associated with the individual calendar or the group calendar. Individuals are presented with a list of group to which they belong and which have calendars. Items in group calendars can be selectively viewed on the individual's calendar. The calendar supports user preferences which can be used to customize an individual's calendar. Some preferences are set automatically such as the default view.
Some preferences have to be set from a separate page.
A basic calendar item has a title, a start date and an end date. A related url which can have associated text and can be set up to replace the detailed view of an item. Items can be set up to repeat on a regular basis. Repetition can be done based on an interval of some arbitrary number of days, weeks, months or years. For repetition on a weekly basis, the specific days of the week can be specified, e.g. every other week on Tuesday and Thursday.
