Managing Calendar Items though the Calendar Portlet
Administrators access calendar functionality through the Setup portlet (Figure 1) or a link to the Calendar portlet on the main console. End users can only access calendar functionality through the link on the main console.
Calendar functionality accessed through the Setup portlet differs from calendar functionality accessed through the main console. This section addresses scheduling of calendar events with the Calendar portlet that you access from the Setup portlet. The Accela Civic Platform User Guide provides information on scheduling calendar events with the Calendar portlet you access from the main console.
