How to add a calendar

You can add as many calendars as you like, to stay organized or to give each person their own. Common reasons to use more than one:

- A separate calendar for school and home

- One calendar per child in a family or classroom

1. Open the Add Calendar Menu

Tap on the Add Calendar icon (+) near the top right corner of the apps main screen.

2. Set calendar information

  The Add Calendar screen allows you to set the following attributes of the new calendar:

  • Name to uniquely identify the calendar (required).

  • A photo to personalize the calendar (optional). You can use your camera to take a photo or choose one from your photo library.

  • Enable/disable U.S. holidays (default is enabled).

  • Minimum interval for time in events (default is 5 minutes). Increase or decrease this if you need more or less precision.

  • Start day of each week (default is Sunday).
