Introduction to the Calendar

Here we show you how you can create a calendar and decide the best settings for your need.

A Calendar already exists when you start using Work2Go. It’s called Calendar and its name can’t be changed. But you can of course create as many new ones as you need. For example, you can create one for work and one for personal activities and a third for company activities. You can switch between multiple views, drag and drop to move events from one calendar to another and share it with others.
