To make the most of your Activity Calendar, adjust settings to fit your preferences and streamline your workflow. Customizing the Calendar Settings and applying filters helps tailor the calendar to fit your organization's needs and enhances your scheduling experience.
Permissions determine what data your Users can access and what actions they can perform. The ability to edit the Calendar Settings requires the Activity Calendar Settings permission in the Activity Calendar category. This permission is automatically granted to Users with the roles of Owner and/or Manager/Director and can be granted to other Users by your system administrator. Learn more about Permissions for Jackrabbit Users.
All Calendar Settings are organization-wide and apply to all Users. Follow these steps to tailor your calendar display and improve scheduling efficiency.
