Your Con-nect calendar contains entries for your meetings, appointments, reminders and todos, including all entries in the overlay calendar. As soon as an event has passed, the entry is removed from the calendar information of the Con-nect menu (an appointment or meeting will not be removed from the calendar information until the ending time of the event has passed).
All entries are retained in your calendar for record-keeping purposes until you erase them. There is one exception: a todo is automatically erased from your calendar as soon as it is performed.
Each resource has its own calendar. To display the calendar for a resource, you must DISPLAY the resource.

- Subject

- Agenda/Notes
This column is marked with A if a meeting or appointment contains an agenda and/or with N if a meeting or appointment contains attached notes.
- Overlay
A user ID in this column indicates a calendar entry (appointment, meeting, reminder or todo) in the calendar of that user.
The command prompting line of the "Display Calendar" screen shows all the commands which apply to calendar entries. The commands are described in section Commands. The following exceptions apply when working with calendar entries:
The ADDRESS command enables both the originator and the attendees to check the reception status of an invitation to a meeting. See the description of the ADDRESS command in section Commands for Meetings for further information.
You cancel a meeting or reminder with the CANCEL command.
To cancel a meeting which exceeds one day, you need not mark each day of the meeting in the "Display Calendar" screen with CA - you can mark any day of the meeting with CA to cancel the whole meeting.
See the description of the CANCEL command in sections Commands for Meetings and Commands for Reminders for further information.
You can add a meeting or an appointment by copying an existing one with the COPY command and changing specifications as necessary. Agenda and attached notes are not copied.
You can specify repeated single-day appointments or meetings. You can also copy an appointment to another cabinet, if its user has given you permission. See the description of the COPY command in sections Commands for Appointments and Commands for Meetings for further information.
When the agenda of a meeting or appointment is displayed, you can COPY or PRINT it.
When you copy the agenda, the "Copy Document" screen appears. The name of your default folder is shown in the "Folder" line. The subject of the meeting or appointment is shown in the "From" line. The name of the original document is shown in the first "Description" line. If the meeting or appointment has a description, it is shown in the next three lines of the description. If the meeting or appointment includes keywords, they are shown in the "Keywords" fields. See the description of the COPY command in section Documents for further information.
When issue the PRINT command in the screen which shows the agenda, the whole meeting or appointment is printed. It is printed according to the criteria that were defined in your user profile (see Print Defaults) or with the OUTPUT command (see the description of the OUTPUT command in section Documents). For a meeting, the following exception applies: when the "Info" field is marked in the "Print Defaults" window or in the "Specify Printer Output Options" screen, the number of attendees and resources that have accepted or declined the meeting is printed as well as the number of all pending invitations.
You can attach notes to a meeting or appointment. See Notes Attached to a Meeting and Notes Attached to an Appointment for further information.
You use the ERASE command to cancel an appointment, reminder or a todo (this command is not allowed with meetings).
As soon as you erase a calendar entry, it is removed from the calendar screens and calendar information. It is not placed in your Wastebasket.
To erase an appointment which exceeds one day, you need not mark each day of the appointment in the "Display Calendar" screen with ER - you can mark any day of the appointment with ER to erase the whole appointment.
If you want to erase repeated single-day appointments, you must mark each appointment you wish to erase with ER. See the description of the COPY command in section Commands for Appointments for further information regarding repeated single-day appointments.
You use the MODIFY command to modify any of your calendar entries. You can modify every specification for appointments, reminders and todos in the resulting "Modify" screen. There is one restriction: in the overlay calendar, you cannot modify the command sequence assigned to the todo.
See the description of the MODIFY command in section Commands for Meetings for information regarding modifying a meeting.
You can attach notes to a meeting or appointment. See Notes Attached to a Meeting and Notes Attached to an Appointment for further information.
When you add a todo, you specify a command, object and parameter. To carry out this command sequence, you must mark the todo with PE. As soon as a todo is performed, it is erased from your calendar. It is not placed in your Wastebasket.
You cannot PERFORM a todo in your overlay calendar.
If you are the originator of the meeting, you can read the replies to your invitation (without having to access your Inbasket) by marking a specific meeting with RE.
If there is only one reply, it is displayed immediately. If there is more than one reply, a list is displayed and you can mark the replies you want to read with DI.
You cannot issue the REPLIES command with a meeting in the overlay calendar.
You issue the UNDO command with a meeting to retract all invitations you have sent. See the description of the UNDO command in section Commands for Meetings for further information.
You can either print an individual meeting/appointment or a list of all calendar entries within a specified time range.
To print the meeting or appointment, you either mark it with PR in a screen which shows a list of calendar entries or you issue PRINT in the command line when the meeting or appointment is displayed. An agenda is always printed with the meeting or appointment.
The meeting or appointment is printed according to the criteria that were defined in your user profile (see Print Defaults) or with the OUTPUT command (see the description of the OUTPUT command in section Documents).
For a meeting, the following exceptions apply: Update messages for a meeting can only be printed from the "Display History of Meeting" screen. When the "Info" field is marked in the "Print Defaults" window or in the "Specify Printer Output Options" screen, the number of attendees and resources that have accepted or declined the meeting is printed as well as the number of all pending invitations.
When you issue the PRINT command in the screen which shows the agenda, the whole meeting or appointment is printed.
You can print your calendar any time you want.
Issue the following command sequence from any point in Con-nect:

The optional parameter "Document" causes the following items associated with a calendar item to be printed as well:
- Meeting or appointment
Description, location, agenda (name and text) and attached notes. Attached notes are printed only when the "Attached/Cover Notes" field is marked in your user profile (see Print Defaults) or in the output options (see the description of theOUTPUT command in section Documents).
