Managing the Calendar

 

Viewing All Calendars

When you choose the All Calendars option, you are viewing all events from all calendars. Although merged into one view, the items may be stored in separate calendar files based on the application from which they originated.  If you add events while viewing All Calendars, they are added to the default calendar file.  Therefore, the default calendar must be the Exchange account calendar in order for events to synchronize through the NotifyLink ActiveSync component.

Events in the Exchange account calendar appear on the calendar with a distinct color assignment.  For example, in the illustration below, Exchange account calendar items appear in an orange block (day view) or with an orange dot (month or list view).

Choosing a Calendar View

1.  Select the Calendar application.

2.  Tap Calendars in the Calendar title bar, then select a calendar to view or All Calendars.

 

Add, Edit or Delete Calendar Events

Tap the Calendar icon on the device’s Home screen. 

A number in the upper right corner of the icon indicates the number of new meeting invitations in your calendar.

•      Tap List, Day, or Month to change the calendar view.

•      To select a calendar file to view, tap Calendars in the title bar.

•      To add an event:  Tap +

•      To edit an event:  Tap the event, then tap Edit

•      To delete and event:  Tap the event, tap Edit , then scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Event

 

 

Set the Calendar Time Zone

The Calendar’s time zone can be set independently of the device’s general time zone setting. 

If the Calendar Time Zone Support setting is ON (default), the Calendar will always show event dates and times in the time zone selected for Calendars. 

If the setting is OFF, events display according to the time zone of your current location as determined by the network time, which changes automatically based on the user’s geographic location.  However, some carriers do not support network time in all locations, so the device may not be able to automatically set the local time when you are traveling. 

1.  Choose Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.

2.  Scroll to the Calendar section, tap Time Zone Support.

3.  Turn Time Zone Support ON and select a major city in the Time Zone of your choice.

 

Note:  The general time zone is located in the device’s General settings.  Like the Calendar time zone, it can be set manually or for automatic updates via the cellular network.  Tap General > Date & Time.
