columns in order to make the navigation easier, sometimes showing more columns is desired.

was invited.
TIP 2: To see the duration of each event, show the Duration column.

two columns in the table header and drag the cursor right or left as needed.

Events are all items created in the calendar. New events can be added in a special create-and-
edit dialog. To open this dialog, use the New event button on the toolbar or the corresponding
option available in the context pop-up menu (opened by right-clicking on the calendar’s main
panel).
Meetings are special events. This event is shared by multiple participants (invited users). For
details on how to create a meeting, see section 1.7.7.
Some events and meetings can be repeated in regular periods. To set periods of repetition for
an event, click on Recurrence. When recurrence is set for an event, the item will be repeated
in the calendar according to the settings. For detailed information, read chapter 1.7.6.

resents the type of event. The same color will be also used to mark the event in the
