Setting Up Your Calendar

  1. Use the following table to define your calendar settings:
  2. Field Description

    Show Weekends

    Select this checkbox if you want to see Saturdays and Sundays on your calendar.

    Activate Reminders

    Select this checkbox if you want to see a reminder for each date within the date range of an assignment (date assigned through date due). The reminder line is a lighter color on the days the assignment is not due, and darker for the date the assignment is due.

    Including reminder lines is a good way to keep a current to-do list of what you should be working on for all your classes.

    Note: If you select this checkbox, your calendar could contain many assignment reminder lines for each date.

    Color

    Determine the highlighter colors that represent your sections and appointments on your planner.

    In the Color column, click the color box next to the item. The Color Chooser appears. Click a color, and then click OK.

    Within each class section, you can click All Categories to open the Category pick list. Select only the assignment categories you want to appear in the color you selected for the class (for example, you might want all quizzes to appear in red).

    Note: The colors for appointments is set by the My Events color.
