Find the built-in calendar

To access the calendar, click Calendar on the Quick Launch of the site that's based on Windows® SharePoint® Services 3.0 or Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Server 2007.

If you don't see the calendar on the Quick Launch, there are several other options:

• Click View All Site Content on the Quick Launch and click Calendar under Lists.
• Create your own calendar (see the link to the course on this subject in the "See also" section of this Quick Reference Card).
• Contact your site administrator and ask for one. Windows SharePoint Services includes collaboration templates that your site administrator can use when creating a new site. The Team Site template provides the built-in calendar described in this course. For more information, see the "Default site templates" link at the top of this Quick Reference Card.

Get around in the calendar

Use the buttons to look at a day, a week, or a month at a time.

Use the arrows to move from month to month, week to week, or day to day.

To quickly move to different years or months, use the small calendar above the Quick Launch.

Enter an item

From the calendar, on the New menu , click the arrow, and then click New Item. If you want to create a recurring entry, set the item's recurrence pattern.

Edit or delete an item

1. Click the item in the calendar to open its form.
2. At the top of the form, click Edit Item or Delete Item.

1. In Internet Explorer, click the File menu.
2. Point to Send and click Link by E-mail.
