1.7 Calendar
This chapter addresses calendar folders. Why should you throw your paper calendar and
adopt a digital one? There are several reasons to do it. First, events recorded in the calendar
can be reminded by visual alerts. Second, various layouts can be applied. Compared to elec-
tronic calendars, paper ones cannot for example be switched to week or month layouts when
necessary. And another reason to be mentioned, last but not least, is that electronic calendars
allow creating of meetings and sending of invitations for these meetings to other users.
Beforewe focus on features of calendar folders, basicterminology will be addressed. Thereare
two most essential items, events and meetings. Events are calendar items with time scheduled
whereas meetings are events where other participants are involved (invited).
