The Calendar module provides the users with interfaces to manage the [Tasks](/modules/tasks.html) and Events in a chronological way. Further, this module gives you the ability to view and filter Events according to Project or Company in addition to displaying by Day, Week, Month, and Year.
The Yearly view gives the user an overall view of the Year calendar and color codes the days depending on the existence of Tasks and/or Events.

It's not uncommon to have events or task that last more than a calendar month. In addition you may want to be able to recall what your schedule looked like for the year. The year view gives you the option to view your intire schedule for the year.

* Click on any given month to switch to that month
33

34
-
* Set Event Filters
35

The base view of the Calendar Module is a simple month view similar to Outlook or Google Calendar. It always defaults to the current month displaying all of the Users’ Tasks and Events. This view is filtered according to two aspects: Company and Ownership. At any time, a User can change the Company filter from any one to all of them. This gives a quick review on a per-customer basis with no additional effort. The Ownership filter allows a User to change their view based on All Events, Events I Created, and My Events. By changing the combination of these two aspects, Users can look at the information from a variety of angles and determine a great deal about most projects.

Generally when you create an event or task in the system, this will create links within the calendar dynamically showing you the start and finish dates within that month. Each link in the calendar is dynamic, so you can click on it and it will take you to the details of that object. This is particularly useful when you want a snap shot view of what’s on the agenda for the entire month.

I> In many cases, even filtering Events and Tasks by Company will still display too much information to be useful. Therefore, you can also filter by a specific Project.

Depending on how the administrator has the system configured, you can use filters to view calendar details for other [Departments](/modules/departments.html) or [Users](/modules/users.html), in addition to your own.

D> To make life simpler for all involved, it is currently planned to implement iCal output for any active Web2project user. This will provide a simple way to monitor a calendar from within a third–party application such as Google Calendar, Apple iCalendar, or Outlook.
