FirstClass Calendar

Calendar info

Recommended use of calendars:

Important: Before you consider using a FirstClass calendar, please read all of the information in this section.

If you are using a version of FirstClass that is earlier than 7.1, you will find that the calendar features are very limited. We recommend that you upgrade to version 9. To upgrade, click one of the installation buttons at the top of this page.

FirstClass calendars work in the web version also. See the instructions for using FirstClass on the Web.

Use of Personal calendars:

-Students may find that a FirstClass calendar meets the need for scheduling of academic, extracurricular and personal appointments on a calendar that can be accessed on any computer. Calendars may be set to allow various levels of access by other FirstClass users but by default are readable by all. Therefore it is important that anyone who wants to use this feature read the documentation carefully to protect the security of her calendar. See Personal Calendar.

-Faculty members may want to use a FirstClass personal calendar for meetings, classes, appointments and tasks. A personal calendar can be set up to allow students and others to schedule appointments. Shared calendars can be used in course conferences for scheduling presentations or other meetings among members of a class. Faculty may call the Helpdesk at X3333 for a consultation when setting up calendars for these purposes.

-Administrative staff who wish to keep calendars should instead use Meeting Maker which is in widespread use throughout Wellesley and is available to all faculty and staff. In order for the scheduling and group features to have maximum utility, it is important that all colleagues use the same software. The features of Meeting Maker are flexible for scheduling meetings among colleagues and committees and allow for synchronization with many handheld devices. Those who need to create a calendar that students can access, for example to schedule work hours, should use a FirstClass shared calendar as described below.

Use of shared calendars:

Besides a personal calendar associated with each user account, FirstClass allows the creation of calendars that can be shared. These calendars are called "public calendars" in the FirstClass help files but they can be set up with limited access that you specify. Conference controllers (those who have create conference rights) can create calendars within conferences. The three types of shared calendars are group, location and resource.

Note:  Established procedures for reserving College spaces and equipment have not changed. Whether you invite individuals to meet with you or use a group calendar to schedule a meeting, the FirstClass calendar will not reserve a Wellesley College space for you or register your event. For registration criteria and forms, click the Requests button at the top of the Wellesley College Campus Calendar.

-Group calendars: This type of calendar may be created in a FirstClass conference to schedule meetings, presentations or work assignments among the group who use the conference. For example, a group calendar could be use to schedule student subjects for lab experiments.

-Location calendars: Because of established practices, location calendars should rarely be used. Spaces for Wellesley College academic, departmental and student events are reserved through scheduling offices so that they are contained in a central database. If your organization has a private or off-campus space where meetings take place, you may set up a location calendar; however some events may still require registration with a Wellesley College scheduling office.

-Resource calendars: Check-out of media equipment and other reservable resources will continue to be managed using established procedures. If your organization would like to maintain a calendar to assist with sharing of any item used within your group (e.g., camera, coffee maker), you may set up a resource calendar in a FirstClass conference for this purpose.

The Shared Calendar section explains setup and features for setting up a calendar in a conference.

Calendar Basics

 

Viewing a calendar

-Calendar views: You can view your calendar by Month, Week, Workweek, or Day. Day View has the most detail and Month view has the least. Al-day events are displayed at the top of the Day View. When viewing a day other than today in your calendar, tasks will be displayed at the top of the Day View, however if a tasks for today will only be listed in the Today List and will not appear again at the top of the Day View.

-Selecting a view: To choose the view you prefer, click a view icon on the toolbar or choose from the View menu. In addition to the view that you choose, you have the option of a Today List. The Today List can be turned on and off by selecting the Show Today List icon in the toolbar. The Today List displays tasks and events. It also features a small monthly calendar. While the small monthly calendar cannot be removed from the Today List, you can increase and decrease the number of months displayed by dragging the bar separating the two sections of the Today List up and down.

calendar-Small Monthly Calendar: If your calendar is in a split window with the Today List on one side of the split, this calendar can be used to navigate the view on the opposite side of the split. If you click a particular day on the small calendar, the view on the opposite side of the split will change to the Day View for that date. If you click just to the left of a week, as shown in the illustration on the right, the opposite side of the split will display that week in Week View. You can drag with your mouse to choose more than one day or week. Click the month name to display Month View for that month. Clicking the single small arrow changes the calendar to a new month and the double small arrows change the calendar to a new year. Any date appearing in bold has at least one event.

Note: If you set your calendar permissions so that others can schedule events on your calendar, is useful to check your calendar each day to see if you have received any invitations for the weeks ahead. Unread events will be marked with a red flag. You will have the opportunity to accept or decline invitations. See the information below on using your personal calendar.

 

Defaults and customizing

-Calendar Preferences: You can customize some aspects of your calendar such as start of work day, the event start time interval, default event duration and default reminder. This is done in your account's Preferences. To access preferences, click the Preferences button on your FirstClass desktop toolbar, then click the Calendaring tab.

-Printing: You can set a default print format that will apply when you click the print button on the Toolbar. File > Print Layout and be sure the Calendars tab is selected. Choose your options and click Apply and OK. If you click The Default button, the system defaults will be set.

 

Printing

File > Print. A Print Layout window will open.
Choose the type of calendar you want to print (day, week, month, list) and the particular dates you would like.
Click Print.

Note: This does not change the default print layout. Print layout defaults are set in File > Print Layout. To use the default, click the print button on the Toolbar.

 

Importing and exporting:

Import:

If you have calendar data from another calendar device that is in vCalendar (.vcs) format, you can import it to your FirstClass calendar.

File > Import > Import Calendar, then select the .vcs file.

Export:

Calendars can be exported to two formats, either vCalendar (.vcs) or .csv (for Outlook, Blackberry or FirstClass). Follow the steps below:

  1. Select either the entire calendar on your Desktop, or particular events and tasks in your open calendar.
  2. File > Export.
  3. Choose Export calendar events and tasks
  4. Navigate to the location where you want to save the file. Click OK

Personal Calendar

Opening your personal calendar

From the File menu choose Open > Calendar. The Calendar icon will appear on your FirstClass desktop. It is possible to delete your calendar and open it again; however all of your appointments will be lost. (To prevent this from happening accidentally, the calendar has been set as protected. You will need to uncheck the Protected box in the calendar properties before deleting.)

You should leave your personal calendar on your FirstClass desktop and not rename it.

Important: When you first open your calendar it is viewable by other FirstClass users. You should set Permissions (instructions immediately below) before entering any appointments.

Deleting your calendar

If you delete your calendar, all events will be lost. A new blank calendar can be opened later.

  1. Click the calendar icon on your FirstClass Desktop.
  2. File > Properties (Windows) or File > Get Info (Macintosh)
  3. Click the box next to Protected to remove the checkmark.
  4. Click OK.
  5. Select the calendar icon on your Desktop again, being sure that no other icon is selected.
  6. Type the DELETE key and confirm deletion when asked.

Personal calendar permissions

Recommended permissions for new personal calendar users:

It is strongly recommended that you set up your calendar permissions so that only you have access. After you set up your appointments and become familiar with use of the calendar, you may want to add scheduling access for certain others so that they can make appointments with you. Be sure that you understand how this works and perform some tests when changing your permissions.

To set your calendar so that no one else can access it:

  1. After opening your calendar, from the Collaborate menu choose Permissions. A Permissions for Calendar window will open.
  2. In the Who box type All Users followed by the ENTER or RETURN key.
  3. Directly across from All Users in the Access box, it should read "No Access." You should leave this as is.
  4. Do not enter any information in the other fields. You should not put any name in the List of Subscribers in your calendar permissions because this would put your calendar on their FirstClass Desktop.
Your own name may be automatically added to the List of Subscribers, but you do not need to assign permissions to yourself. A series of question marks in the List of Subscribers should be ignored.

 

Your Permissions for Calendar window should look like this. Close the window after you verify that it is correct.

permissions ss

Alternate permissions options: (Use with caution and understanding.)

There are several levels of access that you can assign to other users for your personal calendar. For example, if you would like for specified individuals to be able to schedule appointments on your calendar but not to view your calendar, you should set the access level to Schedule only. You can also allow others to view the times or details of appointments in your calendar. To set this up, in the Who box type the FirstClass names of each of those who will have something other than No Access. These individual names must be above All Users in the list; otherwise their higher level of access will be cancelled by that of the All Users group to which everyone belongs. Across from each name, in the Access field, use the pull-down list to change access to the level you want. You can drag names in the list to different positions above All Users but you will need to reset their permission level after doing so.

Note the row of small icons in the Permissions box to the right of each name. These icons are either colored or gray, representing individual permissions associated with the access level selected for the user in that row. Hover your mouse over any icon to see its name. You can click on any of these to set it on or off. If you do so, the standard access level name will change to Custom. You can learn details about standard access levels (groups of individual permissions) and the individual permissions by opening the Help menu in your Calendar Permissions window and choosing About this Window.

You do not need to explicitly assign yourself any permissions to access your own calendar. It is unlikely that you will have a reason to give any kind of editing permission for your calendar to anyone else, although this is possible to set up. If you do assign permissions to others, do not give them access to create, delete, approve or edit anything.

If you assign permission for anyone to see times or details on your calendar, she/he will be able to open your calendar by right-clicking your name in a message header or the directory and choosing Open User Calendar.

Permission to view times only allows others to see the scheduled times in your calendar. Permission to view details allows others to see all information about your appointments, however individual appointments that you have set to be Private or Personal will display only times.

Creating events

  1. File > New> New Event or click the New Event icon on the toolbar. An event window will open with several tabs. Each tab leads to a different page of the new event form.

    Tip: You can also create an event by double-clicking the date and time for the new event in your open calendar. A new event window will open with the time and date fields already filled in. You may need to adjust the time in the event window.


  2. Click the Event tab and complete the fields as follows:

    -In the Description field, enter the name of your event (e.g. Chemistry class, Shakespeare Society meeting).

    -In the Starts at field, choose the starting date and time of the event using the pull-down menu. A small monthly calendar will appear. Click the date of your choice, using the forward and backward arrows to move to different months. There is a pull-down menu for the starting time that you can use if you want an even hour, otherwise you can select the field and type the time you want. Be sure to include AM or PM.

    -To set the ending time of your event you have two options. Either choose the day and time that the event will end or enter a duration. Whichever one you choose, the other field will be calculated for you.

    -If you would like to have an event that does not have a particular time range, check the box labeled All day event. All day events do need to have a date, but this is a good way to place instructions or other information on specific days of the calendar. They will appear at the top of the calendar in Day View and on the selected day in other views. If you create an all day event you will probably want to change the Show as field to Free. Otherwise, any event scheduled during that day will be marked as conflicting.

    -Location, category and color are optional and will appear on the calendar.

    -The Show as field sets your availability to others for the duration of this event. For example, if you set it to Busy, those who you have allowed to schedule meetings with you will view this time as being unavailable. Unless you choose Free, other events scheduled at the same time will be in conflict. Both conflicting events will be marked by a red bar in any calendar view.

    -Use the My Reminders section if you would like a message to pop up on your computer and/or that of the other participants. You can set the amount of time before the event that you would like to be reminded. In order to see the reminder, participants must be logged in to FirstClass when it is set to occur. If a participant is not logged in, an automatic reminder e-mail will be sent. Any participant can edit the reminder for their own calendar.

    This icon reminder icon on your calendar indicates an event that has been set with a reminder.

    When your reminder message pops up you will have the option to view details of the event. If you would like to set the same reminder to pop up again, set the snooze interval and click Snooze.

    reminder

  3. If you are not inviting other participants, skip to step 4. To invite others, click the Participants tab. The event time you selected is shown next to a time bar for that day. The bar is coded by color indicating your availability. (See the key at the bottom of the window.) You can reschedule the time of the event here if you like, by changing the date or clicking the Next Free Time button. Clicking the time bar changes the time.

    Note: Before inviting a participant it is useful to know whether that person reads the her/his calendar frequently and has set calendar permissions allowing you to schedule.


    participants ss

    -To invite a participant, type the FirstClass name in the participants list. If you like, you can type a message in the text area and attach files. These will be saved with the event in the calendar of every participant. To the right of each participant's name is a time bar representing that person's availability. Depending on how this person has set up permissions you may be able to see whether she/he is busy during the time you are trying to schedule and/or you may have permission to schedule with this person.

    After you enter participants, the Event time bar above changes to reflect the availability of everyone on the list for whom you have permission to schedule or see times.

    -If you have permission to schedule with the participant, the event will appear on that person's calendar when you close the event window.

    If you invite a person who does not use FirstClass or does not have a calendar on her/his FirstClass desktop, that person will receive an e-mail message that has a VCalendar file (.vcs extension) attached to it. The file has a summary of the event and can be imported into calendar programs.

    If you invite a person who does have a FirstClass calendar but who has not given you permission to add events, that person will receive an email with a summary of the event and will be able to add the event to the calendar if she/he wishes.

    Note: For more information on inviting participants and responding to invitations, see the section below, Scheduling events with others.

  4. Click the Advanced tab if this event will repeat at an interval. This is especially useful for weekly meetings or classes. Choose an interval and set the Repeat until date for the end of the series. Note that for classes you need to create different events for each day of the week on which you have class. For example, if you have a Tuesday/Friday 11:10-12:20 class, you have to create an event for the Tuesday schedule and choose to repeat weekly then create an event for the Friday schedule and choose to repeat weekly.

    -This icon repeat icon on your calendar indicates a repeating event.

To mark an event as urgent, select it and from the Message menu choose Priority > Priority Urgent. The event will appear in bold on the calendar.

delete iconIf you decide that you don't want to save the event, click the Delete button on the toolbar while the event window is still open. To save the event, simply close the event window. After it has been saved, If you decide that you don't want to schedule this event you will need to delete it.

Tip: If you already have an event in your calendar and you need to add a similar event (such as a class that meets more than once per week) you can copy it. Select the event, and from the Message menu choose Forward. Change the date/time etc. for the new event. Click the Participants tab and enter your own name then close the event. You will immediately receive a message in your mailbox, informing you of the event. Click Accept and the event will appear promptly in your calendar. If the event that you forward is a repeating event, you will not be allowed to change or delete an individual instance of the event.

Scheduling events with others

    When someone schedules an event on your calendar by listing you as a participant, the new event will be marked with a red flag until you open it. If your calendar is set up to allow others to schedule, frequently scan for events with red flags indicating events that have been scheduled by others. Open these events and reply to them by clicking one of the response buttons at the bottom of the window. Your accept, tentative or decline response will be marked on the Scheduling tab of the event and can be read by all participants. A check indicates that you accept, a red X indicates that you decline and a yellow X indicates tentative status. The time and date that the message was marked will also be shown. If you reply to an invitation as tentative, the event will be marked with a yellow bar in your calendar. If you decline an invitation, the event will be marked with a gray bar in your calendar. You can delete it if you like.

Another way to tell whether someone has accepted or declined an invitation is to check the history of the event. Select the event in a calendar and from the Message menu choose History.

    If you invite a participant to an event that creates a conflict in that person's calendar you will receive an automatic e-mail notifying you of the conflict. That person will see the event on her/his calendar with a red bar next to the conflicting events. The person who initiated the event can edit the date and time on the Scheduling tab. Edits to the event will be reflected on the calendars of other participants.

 

Reading and editing events in your calendar

    Double click an event to read its details. You can also hover your mouse over an event to read a summary. Your calendar may contain both events that you created and those that others have scheduled.

    To edit an event that you created, double-click the event to open its window, make the edits then close the window to save the changes. If someone else scheduled the event, you will only be able to change the color, category and reminder.

Any event that another person has scheduled will have a red flag next to it until you read it. Be sure to open these events and reply by clicking either Accept, Tentative or Decline. A good way to check for red flags is to set your calendar to List View which makes the flags easier to find.

Events in conflict are marked with a red bar in any calendar view. If the person who created the event changes the date, all participants will have this event moved and reflagged on their calendars. If a name is deleted from the Participants list, the event is removed from her/his calendar.

Tentative events are marked with a yellow bar in any calendar view.

To modify a repeating event, double click on any instance of that event. After you make a change and close the window, a dialog box will appear that says, "The current operation involves a repeating event. Which repeats would you like to include?" You can choose All, Current or Future.

You can move an event to a new date and time by dragging it, however if you drag one instance of a repeating event, all other instances will move as well. In other words, if you drag a weekly repeating event from a Friday to a Tuesday, all other instances of that event will also move to Tuesdays. If you want to move one instance only, it will be easier to open the event on the day you want to change, and edit the date in the event window.

 

Creating tasks

Tasks do not span a block of time as events do. A task could be a project you need to work on that may have a specific due date or an errand that you would like to be on your Today List until it has been completed.

  1. new iconFile> New> New Task or click the triangle beside the New icon on the toolbar and select New Task. A task window will open with two tabs.

  2. Click the Task tab and complete the fields as follows:

    -In the Description field, enter the name of your task (e.g., homework assignment, pick up dry cleaning, etc.).

    -In the Starts at field, choose the starting date and time of the task using the pull-down menu. A small monthly calendar will appear. Click the date of your choice, using the forward and backward arrows to move to different months. There is a pull-down menu for the starting time that you can use if you want an even hour, otherwise you can select the field and type in the time you want. Be sure to include AM or PM.


    -The Due at field is optional.


    -Category is optional and will appear on the calendar.


    -If you change Priority to Urgent its name will be in bold typeface in your calendar.

    -If your task has a due date you can set a reminder to pop up on your computer. In the Reminders section click the button for Time before start and end and enter a period of time. The reminder window includes the option to view the details of the task. In order to see the reminder, you must be logged in to FirstClass when it is set to occur. If you are not logged in, an automatic reminder e-mail will be sent.

    This icon reminder icon on your calendar indicates a task that has been set with a reminder.

    -State can be set to Not Completed, Completed, In Progress, Waiting, or Deferred and can be associated with a date.


  3. The Advanced tab lets you set a time zone, a color and an icon for the task. You can also set the visibility of the task. The details of Personal or Private tasks are not visible to others, even those who have permissions to view your calendar.

delete iconIf you decide that you don't want to save the task, click the Delete button on the toolbar while the event is still open. To save the task, simply close the task window and it will appear on your calendar. If you decide that you don't want to schedule this task you will need to delete it.

 

Reading and editing tasks in your calendar

Double click a task to read its details. You can also hover your mouse over the task to read a summary.

A task will first appear in your Today List on the day that you designate as the start date. Once that day has passed, if you haven't deleted the task it moves to the current day, and so on. Once you have marked a task as completed, it will appear on all calendar views with a red line through it crossed out taskonly on the day that it has been marked completed. A task that is not completed by the due date will appear in red type.

To edit a task, double-click the task to open its window, make the edits then close the window to save the changes. To change the state of a task (completed, deferred, in progress, etc.), double click the task to open its window, click the Task tab and choose from the State pull-down menu. You can also quickly mark a task as completed without opening its window by hovering the mouse over the box beside each task and then clicking when the cursor changes to a check mark.

If you change the start date, the task will move to the new start date on the calendar.

Deleting events and tasks

Delete buttonYou can delete an event or task while you are creating it by clicking the Delete button on the tool bar, or by selecting it in your calendar and typing the DELETE key.

If you delete an event, it will be removed from all participants’ calendars. If you delete a repeating event that you created, a dialog box will appear giving you the option of deleting All, Current or Future events. However, if you delete a repeating event that someone else invited you to, all instances of the repeating event will be deleted.

Events and tasks will expire from your calendar 30 days after the event has passed. All instances of a repeating event will expire at the same time - 30 days after the final instance.

Shared calendar

Calendars may be created in FirstClass conferences by organizations or classes that need to share data in calendar format. The conference controller can set the the conference and the calendar to be accessible to members only. Note that the FirstClass help files refer to the three types of shared calendars (group, location and resource) as "public calendars."

Creating a shared calendar

You must have FirstClass Create Conference rights to create a shared calendar and your access level in the conference where you are creating this calendar must include Create Items access - usually Controller. (If you are a controller but can not create a calendar, please post a message in the Conference Requests FirstClass conference.) There are three types of shared calendars; however they all work in a similar way. These instructions will describe the most common type, group calendars. Be sure you have read the Recommended use of calendars section before creating any of these.)

  1. Open the conference where you would like a calendar.
  2. From the File menu choose New > New Group Calendar.
  3. Click the new calendar to select it, then from the File menu choose Properties (Windows) or Get Info (Macintosh).
  4. Type a name for your calendar in the Name field. The name must be unique in FirstClass.
  5. Check the box marked Protected. This will prevent the calendar from being accidentally deleted or renamed. (You must unprotect the calendar to make these changes.)

Permissions for shared calendars

You can set up your group calendar so that all members of your group can add events directly on the calendar and can see the events that others have entered.

  1. Open your calendar, then from the Collaborate menu choose Permissions.

  2. If the Do Not Publish in Directory box is checked, uncheck it. This is more important if you want anyone besides the Editor of this calendar to schedule events.

  3. In the Permissions for Calendar window, type your own name in the Who box followed by the ENTER or RETURN key.

  4. In the Access box, directly across from your name, choose Editor from the pull-down menu.

  5. Enter the names of the others in your group and assign them access levels as well.


    -Each level of access corresponds to a certain set of permissions represented by the row of small icons to the right. Add or remove individual permissions by clicking the icons. You can learn details about permissions by opening the Help menu in your Calendar Permissions window and choosing About this Window. In the example below, Dorothy Mo has the same permissions as Editor, except that she can not edit permissions, edit items or delete items. She can, however, delete events that she, herself, added to the calendar.

    -All members can have Editor permissions if you like. Editors can open and change any event, no matter who created it. If the editor created the event, her name will appear on the Event tab of the event.

    -If you give someone Schedule access to a group calendar (either Schedule Only, Schedule+Times or Schedule+Details), that person can schedule events on the calendar and, depending on which level you choose, view times or details of other events in the calendar. The distinction between editing access and scheduling access is that that when an editor enters an event, the event belongs to the calendar and does not appear on the editor's personal calendar unless she enters her name as a participant. When a scheduler enters an event on a group calendar, it really belongs to that individual's personal calendar, not to the group calendar. The event appears in both the person's personal calendar and the group calendar. The group calendar is listed as a "participant" on the scheduling tab of the individual's event.

    -If you want to keep your calendar from being accessed by anyone else, add All Users at the end of the list and assign No Access. The individual names must be above All Users in the list, otherwise their higher level of access will be cancelled by that of the All Users group to which everyone belongs.

    -You can drag names to other positions on the list but you will need to reset their permissions after doing so.

  6. Click the Directory button near the top of the window and check the box labeled Unlisted. This will prevent your group calendar from being visible in the FirstClass Directory.

  7. Test the Access you have set up for the calendar to be sure that your members can perform the functions they need.

permissions ss

Using a shared calendar

Shared calendars work in the same way as personal calendars except that they reside in a conference rather than on one's own desktop (although a shortcut to a shared calendar can be placed on a desktop in the same way that a conference shortcut can be placed on a desktop). Individual access depends on the permission level that each person has been assigned. Two people will not be able to edit the same event at the same time.

New events and tasks can be added by anyone who has permission to do so and each event is marked with the name of the person who created it in the From field of the opened event or task window.

People who create events in a shared calendar can also invite individuals and the event will appear on that person's personal calendar. Be sure to include adequate information about the location, purpose of the event and your name.

For more information about creating and editing events and tasks, see the section Personal Calendars.

Viewing multiple calendars together

Events entered in two or more calendars can be viewed together in the same window and you can color code the events by calendar. All calendars will remain individual but the one you designate as the main calendar will display events from one or more other calendars. These calendars can be shared calendars that are part of conferences and/or your personal FirstClass calendar. You must have access and permission to open each calendar that you combine. Follow the steps below.

  1. Create an alias (shortcut) on your desktop for the calendar that you want to add to your main calendar.
  2. Drag the alias of the shared calendar to the main calendar and drop it there.
  3. Open the main calendar. If the Today List and mini-month calendar are not showing on the left, click the Show Today List button
  4. The Today List should have both a Today tab and a Calendars tab. Click the Calendars tab.
  5. The main calendar will be listed along with any other calendars that you have added by dragging their alias to this calendar. There is a checkbox next to each calendar name. Events from checked calendars will appear. You can check and uncheck the boxes.
  6. To color code events from a particular calendar, select it in the Calendars list and from the menu choose Format > Color.
