Activating and configuring the calendar

Users can enter appointments under Personal workspace > Calendar or check which appointments others have entered.

  • Courses and groups have their own calendars, which are available to all members.
  • The ILIAS calendar system supports time zones.
  • The calendar system's appointments can be synchronized with external ical-capable systems.
     
  1. Open Administration > Personal workspace > Calendar.
  2. ILIAS displays the Settings tab.
  3. Activate the Activate calendar checkbox.
  4. Define properties:
  • Standard time zone and standard formats for date and time

  • Start of the week and day in calendar views

  • Calendar cache: By activating this option and entering a number, the calendar display on the dashboard and in the repository is only updated at intervals of the number of minutes entered.

  • Appointment cache: By activating this option and entering a number, calendar appointments for synchronization with external calendars are only updated at intervals of the entered number of minutes.

  • Optional e-mail notification for course and group dates: By activating this option, course and group administrators (and persons with comparable rights) have the option of triggering the sending of a notification to all members when an appointment is created in the corresponding container. For all own (i.e. self-created) appointments, it is also possible to use the notification for subsequent changes to an appointment.

  • Possibility of individual registration for course and group appointments for members of the corresponding container: By activating this option, course and group members have the option of registering individually for dates in a course or group calendar. The registered participants of an event are then visible to all course and group members. It is also possible to deregister independently.
