The Calendar module is displayed when you click Calendar in the Navigation Pane.
1. Calendar Module Content
In the Calendar module,
the Navigation Pane displays the Date Navigator and a list of calendars
that you can use. The list might include only the default Outlook
Calendar, or it might include custom calendars you create, calendars
that are shared with you by other Outlook users, and Internet Calendars
or SharePoint Calendars that you connect to.
Tip:
If only the standard
Outlook calendar is available, the Calendar icon appears next to it in
the Navigation Pane rather than a check box. This ensures that at least
one calendar is always selected for display in the Calendars module.
We refer to the center pane
that displays content in the Calendar module as the Calendar pane. The
Calendar pane displays your calendar for a period of time that you
select. The default time period is one day; however, you might find it
more useful to have an overview of a longer period of time such as a
week or a month.
There are four standard Calendar module views:
Normal
In this view, the Navigation Pane is maximized, the To-Do Bar is turned
off, and the Daily Task List is displayed below the calendar.
Calendar And Tasks
In this view, the Navigation Pane is minimized, the To-Do Bar is turned
off, and the Daily Task List is displayed below the calendar.
Calendar Only In this view, the Navigation Pane is minimized and the To-Do Bar and Daily Task List are turned off.
Classic In this view, the Navigation Pane and To-Do Bar are maximized and the Daily Task List is turned off.
The ribbon in the Calendar module includes the File tab and the four standard module tabs:
Home
This tab includes the commands you need to create calendar items,
display specific views of the calendar, manage other calendars and
calendar groups, and share the calendar with other people.
The Home tab of the Calendar module ribbon.
Send/Receive This tab includes commands for synchronizing Outlook with your e-mail accounts. This set of commands is common to the Send/Receive tab in all modules.
The Send/Receive tab of the Calendar module ribbon.
Folder
This tab includes commands for creating and working with calendars.
From this tab, you can create a new calendar, manipulate an existing
calendar, share a calendar with other Outlook users and specify what
each user can do with the shared calendar, open a calendar that you're
not currently connected to, and control the behind-the-scenes behavior
of a calendar.
The Folder tab of the Calendar module ribbon.
View
This tab includes commands for viewing and arranging calendar items,
changing the layout and appearance of the Calendar module, displaying
missed reminders, opening multiple calendars in separate windows, and closing all open calendar item windows.
