Calendar

Using the personal Calendar, you can schedule events and track deadlines for your tasks.

Apart from the personal calendar, Event-type apps are available in BRIX. Those are calendars where different employees can schedule meetings and events. If you are a participant in an event from such an app, it will also be added to your personal calendar.

For example, HR employees use two calendars created with an Event-type app: one for interviews and another for department meetings. In the first calendar, an employee independently schedules meetings with candidates, while in the second they participate as an attendee. In this case, both interviews and department meetings will be displayed in the employee’s personal calendar.

If you are a department manager in the company’s organizational chart, you will be able to view the events of their subordinates. To learn more, see My department.

Here is what the personal calendar of an employee may look like:
