Calendar

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.
