Calendar

All site users can view their own calendars through the menu item My Items -> Calendar. The calendar would show all events (both exams/surveys as well as other non exam events like offline meetings, conference, webinar etc) that are currently scheduled and for which the user has or potentially can have access to. The calendar items can be filtered based upon the current status of the event (currently running, past or upcoming), type of events (exams/surveys or other type of events) and also based upon the subscription status in the events (already subscribed or yet to subscribe). The default view of the calendar would be the month view, however user can easily switch to weekly and daily views.

 

 

Event Visibilities

All users have access to calendar, however events shown in the calendar are based upon whether the user has access to that event or not.

  1. Site admins have access to all events, so all events would come up in their calendars (subscription filter can be used to filter subscribed v/s non subscribed events).
  2. Learners have access to only those events in which they are subscribed or they can potentially subscribe (ex free/paid events). The "By Invite" events to which a learner has not been subscribed by the event owner is potentially off limit for a learner and therefore is not visible in the calendar.

Event Creation

Site admins can create events (both exam and non exam events) for a day (or starting from a specific day) directly by clicking on a specific day. The user would be prompted to choose the specific type of event that they intend to create. This would then initiate the normal steps of event creation. The create buttons on the left search bar can also be used to create the events. Non site admins would not have access to create any event directly through the calendar.

 

Group Calendar

Calendar is also available for a specific group to show only the group level events. Site level events are all filtered out from this calendar. The group calendar can be made visible (or switched off) through the group level option settings by the group or site administrators. Group options are accessed through Group Overview -> Edit -> Options
