> ## About Calendar

> The Sun Java™ System Communications Express is a Web-based communication and collaboration client that lets you create and manage calendars from a browser. It enables you to use your calendar to record events and tasks, share your calendar with others, view other’s calendar, invite contacts from your address book to events, invite other calendars to your events, and set reminders and notifications for an event.

> When you first select the Calendar tab, your default calendar is displayed in the default view. You can later select a calendar from the Current Calendar drop-down list to view and create events and tasks in it. The Current Calendar drop-down list has calendar groups, my calendars, a temporary calendar containing the concatenated multiple calendar name, and the subscribed calendars, if any.

> - My Calendars: Contains multiple calendars owned by you.
> - Calendar Groups: Contains calendars that you have classified under a group.
> - Subscribed Calendars: Contains calendars you have subscribed to. The permissions that you have to a subscribed calendar determines whether you can view, add, edit or delete an event in it.

> For the selected calendar you can see events and tasks in the:

> - Day View
> - Week View
> - Month View
> - Year View

> You can also access the:

> - Events list using the Events tab.
> - Invitations list using the Invitations tab.
> - Tasks list using the Tasks tab.

> Use the Calendar toolbar options mentioned in Table 1 to manage events, tasks and calendars. The table consists of three columns; the first lists the toolbar option, the second the icon representing the option, and the third the purpose of this option.
