In the personal Calendar users can schedule events and monitor their tasks.
Apart from the personal calendar, BRIX has calendar-like apps. Events from these apps also appear in a user’s personal calendar. To learn more, see Event type apps.
Let’s say the HR department uses two calendars created as Event type apps: one for interviews and one for department meetings. In the first calendar, the HR employees add meetings with applicants manually. In the events of the second calendar, each HR employee is added as a participant. In this case, an HR employee’s personal calendar will display both the interviews and department meetings.
If a person has been assigned to a managerial position in the company’s organizational chart, they will be able to view the events of their subordinates. To learn more, see My department.
Calendar interface
Here is what the personal calendar of an employee may look like:
- The counter on the left panel shows the number of events scheduled for the current date. The counter doesn’t show closed events.
- The left menu features the following calendars:
- My Events is the personal calendar of the current user.
- My Department is displayed for heads of departments and contains calendars of their subordinates. Click Show more to open the My Department page.
- Available to Me is displayed if the current user has been given access to the calendar of another user. Click Show more to open the list of all the available calendars.
- The Settings section contains the following pages:
- Share My Calendar. You can grant access to other users to interact with your calendar
- Export Events. Here you can configure integration with external calendars.
- Events are displayed in calendar cells. The events that have ended are crossed out.
- The toolbar is located above the calendar:

By default, the first day of the week in the calendar is Sunday. Users included in the Administrators group can change it for Monday in the Locale Settings.
