# Calendaring in SchoolTool

SchoolTool includes a full-featured calendaring system, similar to Apple iCal or Google Calendar, but capable of representing complex school timetables, including rotating schedules. SchoolTool is also useful for simple resource scheduling, allowing you to manage room assignments, and booking shared resources like computers or projectors. Each person, group, course section or resource has its own calendar. You may integrate multiple calendars into your personal calendar views.

### Parts of the standard calendar views

- Calendar table: fills the main (lower-right) part of the page. This represents the calendar for one day, week, month or year, depending on the view..
- Calendar navigation bar: immediately above the calendar table. Allows you to navigate forward or backward in time, or to return to the current time.
- Calendar title: immediately above the calendar navigation bar, lists the owner of this calendar and the date for this "page" of the calendar.
- Left sidebar: for all calendars, this contains a `Jump to...` section containing menus and links to allow you to quickly navigate to a specific month, year or date.
  If you are logged in and viewing your own calendar, you will also see a `Calendars` section at the top of the sidebar which allows you to "overlay" events from other calendars in this view. You may see calendars for classes you teach or attend listed here already.
- Day/week/month/year buttons: These buttons allow you to switch between daily, weekly, monthly and annual views.
