Viewing schedules

In Active Agenda each person and resource has their own calendar, which you must first open to view. What calendars you already have open are listed in the Calendar Tree. By default when you login for the first time the only calendar you will have open is your own. To adjust what calendars are open go to “Agenda >> Calendars & Tabs…”.

Check (click) the calendars you wish to view and click OK.

Staying organized with Tabs

You may need to view many calendars at once, and this can make navigating all the calendars difficult. You can deal with this in Active Agenda by using tabs. Tabs allow you to group calendars together and easily switch between what group of calendars you want to view. How the calendars are grouped is entirely up to you (for example by physical location/office, program, department etc). To manage tabs go to Agenda >> Calendars & Tabs…

See the table below for how to manage tabs.

To specify what calendars are on a given tab, select the tab in the left pane, and then check the appropriate calendars in the right pane. Click OK when you have finished setting up your tabs.

Quickly navigating calendars

The Calendar Box context menu (right click) gives you several options to hide, reveal and move calendars between tabs to make it quick and easy to view only the calendars you want at a given time.

Menu itemWhat it does and how it is useful
