Calendar month view and day agenda
Calendar combines organization holidays, permitted exams and assignment deadlines in one schedule. Every event uses the same layout: holidays are rose, exams blue and assignments amber. All events, Holidays, Exams and Assignments filter the same collection across Calendar, Cards, List and Table. Search matches titles, subjects/context, descriptions and statuses within the selected month.
The month agenda appears beside the grid on a wide screen and below it on smaller screens. Select a date to show that day's schedule, including empty days. Busy cells show two events and a more control; open it to inspect the day's full count and agenda. View all opens the day's list when more than six events need review. Show month agenda returns to the full month. Today, month navigation and Refresh calendar work in every view.
Steps
- Open Calendars and choose a month.
- Search or select an event-type filter.
- Select a date or its more control to review the day's agenda.
- Open an event for details, or switch views to compare the same schedule.
Cards for holidays, exams and assignments
Cards presents the same combined schedule as individual event records. Each card shows its type, title, date or date range, time, context and status. A holiday is an all-day event; an assignment has a submission deadline; an exam shows its window. Multi-day exam details retain the full original start and end dates even when the selected month contains only part of the window.
Search and event-type filters apply before pagination, so results can include all three types together. Holiday Edit/Delete icons appear only with the relevant grants. Open the event for its description or academic link; a card does not grant permission to edit an exam or assignment.
Steps
- Choose Card view.
- Use All events or a specific type, then search if needed.
- Open a card and review its complete details.
Student: enrolled exams and assignment deadlines
After you confirm enrollment, the exam appears automatically on Calendar for its scheduled dates. An eligible exam that you have not enrolled in is not added to your calendar. Multi-day exams appear on each date in their scheduled window, and their detail dialog shows the exact start and end times.
Assignment deadlines appear for published work in your permitted subjects, chapters and topics. Drafts, deleted work and assignments outside your academic access are excluded. The calendar reflects the latest saved deadline and schedule when loaded; no manual reminder needs to be created. Holidays do not extend deadlines automatically.
Steps
- Enroll in an eligible exam after reading the review dialog.
- Open Calendar and choose the exam or assignment month.
- Select the dated item and use Open exam or Open assignment.
Teacher: teaching dates in one place
Teachers see assignment deadlines in their permitted academic scope and published exams available through their class access or exam-management grants. Organization-wide exams are visible to teachers within the organization. Authorized staff may see dated Draft assignments; Students do not.
The shared month/day agenda, Cards, List and Table all include permitted holidays and academic dates. Use Exams or Assignments to focus on teaching work. Event details link to the underlying record without granting edit, evaluation or exam publication permissions. Admin sees organization-wide permitted academic dates.
Steps
- Open Calendar and select a month.
- Choose All events, Exams or Assignments.
- Open the intended record to review or manage it with your existing permissions.
Read a holiday's details
The holiday detail dialog shows the title, date and description. Use it to read information that is abbreviated in a calendar cell or compact row. Similar titles can recur across different dates, so the date is part of the identity you should check.
If an announced holiday is absent, verify the selected month and organization before requesting a correction. Academic deadlines are not necessarily recalculated just because a holiday exists.
Steps
- Open the intended holiday.
- Confirm its date and read the complete description.
- Ask an authorized manager to correct inaccurate information.
Create, edit and delete holidays
Organization Admin can manage holidays. Teachers need the relevant holiday grants for Add, Update or Delete, and the actions are independent. Use a clear title and accurate date with a description appropriate for everyone who can see the organization calendar.
Deletion is a separate confirmed action. Do not remove a holiday simply because it is outside the current month or because one person's leave request was rejected.
Steps
- Use Add Holiday when authorized and complete its date and details.
- Save and verify the correct month.
- Use the intended edit or delete action for later corrections.
List view: one chronological schedule
List groups the same permitted holidays, exams and assignment deadlines by date. Rows share an icon, title, time and type, so all-day holidays and timed academic work can be reviewed together. Search, event-type filters and the selected month remain active when switching views.
View all from a selected day's agenda opens List with that day filter. Clear day filter returns to the whole month. Pagination follows the filtered results and does not repeat multi-day exams as separate records.
Steps
- Choose List view.
- Search or filter the month, event type or selected day.
- Open an event for its complete details.
Table view and common event details
Table presents the combined schedule with Event, Type, Date, Time, Status and Actions columns. Holidays show All day, assignments show Due time and exams show their time window. Full exam date ranges remain visible even across month boundaries.
Open any row for its shared detail dialog. Authorized holiday managers also receive Edit/Delete icons; deletion still requires its separate confirmation. Exam and assignment links continue to enforce their own academic permissions.
Steps
- Choose Table view.
- Use the shared search and event-type filters.
- Review date, type and status before opening a row or using an action.
