Website Events Calendars

Calendars are ideal for displaying public events on your web site, managing personal activities, and collaborating between registered users.  Calendars can help turn your web site into a valuable business management tool. For example, calendars can be used for customer appointment setting, for intranet and extranet corporate scheduling of mobile or virtual sales staff, for meeting schedules, sale dates and much more.

Types of calenders
Their are three common types of calenders: a Public Events Calender, a Personal Calendar and a Collaborative Calender.

A Public Events Calender is a typical calender that can be used to display events and activities to the general public. The web site administrator can post events on the calender, allowing anyone viewing your web site to see them. The Public Events Calender can be used to inform your users of trade shows, conferences, meeting announcements, seminars, etc.

A Personal Calendar is a private calendar that a registered user of your site can use to store and manage personal events. This calendar is private to the user and cannot be viewed by any other users of the site. This is ideal if you want to keep your personal calendar on the Internet so you can have access to it from wherever you are. If you would like to share your events with other registered users, read about Collaborative Calenders below.

The Collaborative Calender is used to share events and schedules between many different people. In addition to the Personal Calendar features, a Collaborative Calendar allows each user to grant access to other users so they can view shared events. In addition, users can send event invitations, updates and cancellation notifications.  The Collaborative Calendar is ideal for virtual offices, clubs, professional organizations, etc.
