Calendar Basics

There are two types of Calendar in FootPrints:

• Project—The Project Calendar can be used to track appointments for all Agents and Teams for a FootPrints Project. Each Project has its own Calendar.
• Personal—Each Agent/administrator in FootPrints has a personal Calendar. This is a place to add both personal appointments and work-related appointments.  The personal Calendar remains constant throughout all Projects for a user.

To view a Calendar, select Calendar from the FootPrints Toolbar. Select Personal to view your own Calendar, or select Project to see the Calendar for the current Project.
