# Calendar

Use the Calendar module to view and create calls, meetings, and tasks. The calendar displays your meetings, calls, and tasks scheduled for the day. The Day, Week, Month, Year, and Shared buttons display above the calender. To view your schedule for the week, month, or year, click the appropriate button.

Users can check the schedules of other users they plan to invite to a call or meeting. Click Shared and check the user's schedule in the shared calendar. Administrators can view as well as manage user schedules.

You can move backwards and forwards in the calendar- by one day, week, month or year. In the week, month or year format, you can click on any date to view that date in day format.

Other options that display on the Calendar Home page are:
