Introduction

To get started, a calendar needs to be set up by the Admin Level User in the school; and assigned at least one Event Type with "Teacher" access.

Setting up your School Calendar

The School Calendar included in Momentum ESR is an easy way to keep track of school events such as sports days, staff meetings, and playground rosters. You can create your own event types to suit your school's needs, and you can create more than one calendar to further organise the events.

Create a new Calendar.

1. Select the Admin tab, and then >General >Calendar Administration page
   
   
2. Select the 'New' button to create a new Calendar. Enter a name for your new calendar, and a description for the calendar.
   
   
3. Select the 'Save' button to save the Calendar.

Now that you've created your Calendar,  you can assign Event Types to it.

1. From the Calendar Administration page, select the 'Event Types' button to the right of the Calendar you wish to modify.
2. Select the 'Add/New' button. You then select an event type from a number of default Event Types using the 'Types' drop-down box
3. Alternatively, you can create your own Event Type by selecting the 'New Type' option, then naming the Event Type for e.g. Daily; Weekly; Fortnightly. and selecting a colour to associate to this type
4. Under View Level - select who will be able to see the Calendar - if you select Viewer - all users in your school will be able to see the calendar as Viewer is the lowest level of access. 
5. Next select the Edit Level - if you select Teacher - it will allow anyone with Teacher or Executive permission level will be able to edit the selected event type on the calendar 
6. You can choose to assign a colour to the Event Type that you've created by selecting N/A next to Colour to open up the palette of colours. 

7. Select 'Save' button to add the Event Type to your Calendar.
