About Calendar
The Laszlo Calendar application has three main panels:
- The Calendar List (left panel) shows the list of calendars — local and subscribed. A mini-month view is available for navigation.
- The Calendar View (middle panel) displays the events in day, week or month views.
- The Event Detail (right panel) displays details for an event.
Calendar List Panel
You can manage and navigate through your calendars via the Calendar List panel. Calendars provide a convenient way to organize, schedule and keep track of your schedule. You can easily create and name multiple calendars and display or hide each of them from the Calendar View panel through the checkbox indicator. You can delete calendars or publish them to share with family, friends and co-workers. You can also view other published calendars by subscribing to them.
List of Calendars
This list includes your calendars and calendars subscribed from the Web.
Events within the calendars selected by checkbox will appear in the day, week and month views in the Calendar View panel. Each calendar is represented by a different color and its events will be displayed in the same color.
The icon to the right indicates if a calendar is subscribed from an external source, or being published.
"Up arrow" means this calendar is being published
"Down arrow" means this calendar is subscribed from an external source. Subscribed calendars are titled in italics.
Any calendar can be renamed by double-clicking on it.
