There are several ways to add an event. From the Month View screen, click the  graphic on any day to add an event to that day. This graphic and functionality is also located on the Day View and Week View screens. Another way to add an event is to click the Calendar submenu option, Add.

Once the Add Event screen is displayed, enter the Title and Description (both required fields) for the event. The Note field is optional. Use the calendar graphic next to ‘Start Date’ to choose a date, or enter a start date in date format specified in Administration > System > System Settings > System Defaults. Choose a start time and duration for the event. To link an event to an issue, simply add the issue number in the ‘Issue Nbr’ field.

The ‘Assigned To’ field is optional. However, if you want to use Email Notifications or Reminders, the event must be assigned. Only those users with “Can be Assigned issues” permissions can have events assigned to him/her. Only users with “Can Assign issues” or Administrators can add events to the Calendar.
