Editing an Event

- Modify the event's properties you want.
- Click on Save. The modifications are immediately available in the Agenda gadget. A new version of the event is automatically created by the system.
Browsing Events
Events are displayed in the Agenda gadget, which shows all the events you have access to.
The gadget offers two views of the events list.
The list view shows the events as a list. By default, it displays all the coming events, but you can choose to display on the day's events, all the events planned in the coming week or in the coming month. Click on Day, Month, Week or Incoming to change the list filter.
The Calendar view shows the events in a calendar. By default, the calendar shows a month calendar by default, but you can display only one week or one day. Click on Day, Month, Week to change the calendar view.
To see the details of an event, click on the event's title from the Agenda gadget or from the Content tab of the workspace or folder. The event's Summary tab is displayed. You can then edit it, link it to other documents, comment it and tag it.
