The calendar widget

Aangepast op

Table of contents

The Calendar is your personal schedule. The Calendar widget can be found on your personal homepage and on the Course Home of each course. The Calendar widget shows what appointments you have for all the courses you've been added to. When you view the Calendar via a Course Home of a course, only the appointments are visible for that specific course. Deadlines are also visible via the Calendar widget. The Calendar can be found at the bottom right of your personal home page, under Announcements.

The default calendar on your personal homepage is the Saxion Calendar. See Choosing Calendars below to select more calendars.

It is not possible to create or import appointments via the Calendar widget on your personal homepage. If you want to create a new appointment for a specific course, follow these steps:

  • Navigate to the correct course and go to the Calendar.
  • Navigate to the schedule of the specific course from the Calendar.

The Calendar widget consists of two parts:

The calendar: this is the calendar view. The date in blue is the current date. Dates with a blue dot contain an event.

Upcoming events: This is a list of upcoming events. Click on the arrow to show further events.

Click on the date or arrow to collapse or expand the Calendar widget.

The Calendar

You can find the calendar on the right side. A dot under a date means there is an event on that specific day. Clicking on that date will automatically take you to that day's calendar page.

  • Click Calendar at the top of the Calendar widget to open the Calendar.

In Calendar it is possible to view all events of the course you are registered for. The different tabs give you the opportunity to determine how you want to organize the events.

Agenda: an overview that shows the events that take place today and tomorrow, or for a whole week. You can also use this option to sort events by date, course or category.

Day: a daily overview of your calendar per hour.

Week: a weekly overview of your calendar.

Month: a monthly overview in your calendar.

List: an overview of all upcoming events in a list. A handy function to sort your entire calendar.

You can use the arrows to navigate between days, weeks and months.

Filter, Sort and Search in Calendar

There are several options to filter and sort the events in your schedule. Some options depend on what type of overview you are currently using.

  • Use the Search Events to search for specific events.

Calendar overview:

The Calendar view allows you to organize events based on:

  • Date: sort events by date, with the first events at the top of the list. Use the arrows in the top left to navigate between today, tomorrow or the rest of the week.
  • Course: sort events based on the course they belong to.
  • Category: sort events by category, such as assignments, quizzes, etc.

List overview:
