<h1>Using the Calendar App<a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-calendar-app" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The ownCloud Calendar app enables you to create and edit events, synchronize to
other calendars you might use, and create new, personalized calendars.</p>
<p>By default, when you access the Calendar app for the first time, you get a
“Personal” calendar that you can use or modify as you like.</p>
<div class="figure">
<a class="reference internal image-reference" href="../_images/calendar_default.png"><img alt="../_images/calendar_default.png" src="../_images/calendar_default.png" style="width: 1015.5px; height: 435.75px;" /></a>
<p class="caption"><strong>Calendar app (default)</strong></p>
</div>
<p>The Calendar app contains the following fields and controls:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Calendar Date Field – Provides the current date or enables you to select a
date that you want to view.</li>
<li>Calendar View Options – Enables you to choose between a day, week, or month
view for the main Calendar app window. Also provides a quick jump button to
access the current day (Today).</li>
<li>Calendar Selection – Enables you to choose the calendar that you want to view.</li>
<li>Calendar Controls – Provides controls for each individual calendar. These
controls include sharing, obtaining an external URL link to the calendar, an
export function, an edit function, and a delete (trash) button.</li>
<li>Calendar Settings – Provides access to the calendar-specific settings. These
settings include the calendar timezone selection, time format selection, week
start day, cache setting, primary CalDAV address, and iOS/OS X CalDAV address
settings.</li>
</ul>

<h2>Creating a New Calendar<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-new-calendar" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The ownCloud Calendar app enables you to create new calendars for work or other
activities that you want to keep separated. You can manage each calendar
separately.</p>
<p>To create a new calendar:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">

<div class="section" id="synchronizing-calendars-using-caldav">
<h2>Synchronizing Calendars Using CalDAV<a class="headerlink" href="#synchronizing-calendars-using-caldav" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p><em>Calendaring Extensions to WebDAV</em>, referred to as <em>CalDAV</em>, enables clients to
access scheduling information on remote servers. As an extension to WebDAV,
CalDAV (defined by RFC 4791) uses the iCalendar format to manage calendar data.
CalDAV enables multiple clients to access the same information for use in
cooperative planning and information sharing.</p>
<p>The Calendar app provides both the Primary CalDAV address and the iOS/OSX CalDAV
address. Using these addresses, you can use CalDAV-compatible programs (for
example, Kontact, Evolution, or Thunderbird) using the address provided.</p>
<p>To better understand the URL creation, consider the following examples:</p>
<p>Let’s assume you access your ownCloud web interface using the following address:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>http://ADDRESS</pre>
</div>
<p>To access your ownCloud calendars using CalDAV-compatible programs like
Kontact, Evolution, or Thunderbird, you would use the following URL:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>http://ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav</pre>
</div>
<p>To access your ownCloud calendars using Apple iCal you would use the following
URL, making sure to include the final slash:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>http://ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/principals/username/</pre>
</div>
<p>To access your ownCloud calendars using Mozilla Lightning you would use the
following URL:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>https://ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/calendars/USERNAME/CALENDARNAME</pre>
</div>
<p>The following is an example showing the completed URL where the calendar name is
<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">defaultcalendar</span></tt> and the username is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">test</span></tt>:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><pre>https://localhost/owncloud/remote.php/caldav/calendars/test/defaultcalendar</pre>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="creating-events">
<h2>Creating Events<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-events" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The Calendar app enables you to create new events.</p>
<p>To create a new event:</p>
<ol class="arabic">
<li><p class="first">Click a date in the month view or a time in either the week or day views.</p>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Create</span> <span class="pre">a</span> <span class="pre">new</span> <span class="pre">event</span></tt> dialog box opens.</p>

<p><strong>Create a new event dialog box</strong></p>

<div class="figure">
<img alt="../_images/calendar_create_event_repeat.png" src="../_images/calendar_create_event_repeat.png" />
</div>
<p><strong>Even Repeating tab</strong></p>
<p>The Repeating tab provides the option of not repeating the event(default) or
repeating the event daily, weekly, every weekday, biweekly, monthly, or yearly.
In addition, by selecting the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Advanced</span></tt> button in the Repeating tab, each
repeat option provides different levels of customization to better define your
repeat requirements for the event.</p>
<p>The following table helps to define the options for each repeat rule:</p>
<table border="1" class="docutils">

<img alt="../_images/calendar_newtimezone1.png" src="../_images/calendar_newtimezone1.png" />
<p class="caption">Timezone set notification</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Answer:</strong> The calendar needs your current position to detect your timezone.
Without the correct timezone, a time offset exists between the events in the
ownCloud calendar and the desktop calendar to which you are synchronizing. You
can also set the timezone manually in the personal settings.</p>
