Calendar

EverDesk’s calendar management software provides an intuitive interface for planning, organising and managing your events.

EverDesk offers you the ability to work with several calendars independently of each other.

You access the Calendar view in EverDesk by clicking Calendar or the Calendar icon in the Navigation Bar.

The Calendar interface looks like this:

Calendarview

It is split into four sections: Scheduler View, Date Navigator, My Calendars and Other Calendars.

Scheduler View

To the right of the Navigator is the Scheduler’s View. Here you can see all of your events.

You can toggle what period you want your upcoming events to be displayed for using either the Date Navigator or the 6 buttons above the scheduler.

You can turn on or off the Date Navigator, My Calendars and Other Calendars sections individually from the top bar, in the same way as you can customize the folder sections.

Simply click the respective icons to toggle each section on or off.

Date Navigator

On the left side of the Calendar view is the Date Navigator.

The Navigator provides an easy way to look at various dates.

You can select a specific day, or a range of days by clicking the relevant dates in the Navigator.

Specifying a date or range in the Navigator will update the calendar view screen to reflect your selection.

My Calendars

Here you can see all of your calendars.

All the calendars are grouped into Calendar Sets.

EverDesk allows you to work with multiple calendars (including Google Calendars in the Google Edition) simultaneously.

You can show or hide individual calendars or sets in the My Calendars list by ticking the respective check boxes.

Other Calendars (Google Edition only)

Here you can see Calendars which other users have shared with you.

You can show or hide individual calendars by ticking the respective check boxes.
