Calendar Setup Window

The Calendar Setup Window is divided into two parts – the left shows your settings, and the right shows you your calendar as your build it.

 

Pick a Calendar

Pick a calendar to work with from the upper left. When you first install soSIMPLE, the three included calendars are locked. We recommend choosing one that you like, duplicating it, and making changes from there.

 

 

 

 

Settings

Your entire calendar is defined from these settings.

  • Name
    This is how your calendar appears in the list of calendars above, and the title of the calendar when you’re  viewing it using a web browser.
  • Description
    This is only for your own notes. It doesn’t show up anywhere else.
  • Summary
    Provides a summary of how your calendar will function, whether it’s a “standalone” calendar or a “server-powered” calendar.

  • Data Sources
    soSIMPLE calendar allows you to get your calendar information from a FileMaker database on your server, or from an iCal data source, such as the weather examples we provide.
  • Layout
    Determine which tabs and navigation tools should show up on your calendar. You can also choose what type of presentation you’d like and what language.
  • Theme
    CSS-based options to change fonts and colors for various parts of your calendar.
  • Options
    Misc options for your calendar and labels.
