How to create and set up an online calendar

What is an online calendar?

The standard dictionary definition of an online calendar is a web application that allows one or more users to edit, and optionally share online access to calendars with others. While all these are true, online calendars are not just this. An online calendar is a great tool to manage both your professional and personal life. Starting from scheduling meetings with your team to fixing an appointment with your family doctor, online calendars have made life easy.

Who needs an online calendar?

Calendars are an indispensable part of our lives. From searching for the national holidays' list as a child to looking for your company's holidays calendar now, we have grown. Think of all the days when you have missed your child's PTA or an email quotation you need to send your client or your best friend's birthday. If you can associate with these circumstances, the online calendar is an important tool for you. For all those busy bees who keep running around, be in your work or your family, an online calendar helps make your life easy.

Why do you need an online calendar?

Anytime anywhere access

You can access your online calendar anytime from any device. For example, you can check your daily work schedule and plan your day straight from your home each morning.

Share your calendars

Sharing your online calendar keeps everyone on the same page with real-time updates and notifications. You can even embed your calendar to your website for your customers to schedule an appointment with you by giving them access to your free/ busy schedule.

Recurring events

If you have regular meetings/ appointments, you don't have to create the event every time. You can schedule them as recurring events in your calendar and choose to get reminders for the event.

Multiple Calendars

You can create multiple calendars and manage them from one place. If you have multiple businesses or work with multiple departments in your organisation, you can create a separate calendar for each one, color code them distinctly and manage them efficiently.

How to get started with an online calendar?

You can either download any online calendar application directly to your phone/ laptop or use any web application and sign up.

Before starting to create events in your online calendar, you need to set up your calendar by customizing it to your preference and configuring the settings to your need. These will make your calendar more personal to you and will make it easier to use throughout the day.

Calendar time zone

Online calendars come with multiple time zone options. Every time you work out of a different location, you can choose your time zone from the calendar settings. Keeping your time zone updated will ensure that you receive the event reminders without any issues.

Calendar view

An online calendar comes with multiple views support. You can customize your calendar grid to day/ week /month view as per your convenience. Some calendars even provide customised view options to suit your needs.

Calendar settings

To boost efficiency and to save time, you can edit and modify your default event settings such as event duration, and work hours You can also choose to show you as busy during non-working hours, and set the default permissions given for attendees etc., These changes will be applied across your calendars.

Calendar notification

Notifications help you stay on track or give you time to plan. You can also decide how often you want to get alerts from your calendar - do you want them a day before an event or just a few hours? and update your notification settings.

Zoho Calendar - Calendaring made easy
