Overview
More than just a record of events and appointments, the Schoolwires calendar far exceeds any other calendar in its class. The flexibility to publish different types of events like Mandatory (compulsory) Events, Registered (sign-up) Events and to group events by color-coded categories, makes it easy for the end-user to readily identify calendar events. From an end-user's perspective, using the Schoolwires calendar is made even more convenient by the Customized Calendar Viewing feature.
Customized Calendar View
This feature permits end-users to customize their view of the calendar by filtering in specific categories of events from any Site, Subsite, Channel, or Section calendar to a single calendar. This is particularly helpful for parents who may have several children attending different schools within the School district. Instead of navigating from calendar to calendar or printing out multiple calendars, the customization feature permits the amalgamation of these calendars while selectively including only specific categories of events.
