Calendar

The calendar block provides you with a monthly overview of all days on which appointments are planned for your learning rooms.

If you click on „Complete calendar“, an extended view will open. If required, you have the option on this page to add individual appointments that are only visible to you, in addition to the appointments that have been transferred from your learning rooms.

If you have the appropriate permissions in one of your learning rooms, you can also enter group or course appointments that can be viewed by other users. By clicking on „Import and export“ in the calendar block, you can also import appointments into or export them from the calendar.
