Using the Calendar app

Login to the Cloud and access your calendar app by clicking the calendar icon in the top bar.

The left-pane in the calendar window gives you an overview of your calendars, their options and general settings.

Create a Calendar

To create a new calendar just click New calendar. A small prompt will appear where you can type the name you want to give to this new calendar. Then press the arrow icon.

You can create multiple calendars for different purposes (work, activism, etc.) by repeating this process.

Calendar options

On the left panel, you will see your calendars listed. By clicking on the three dots icon to the right of a calendar, you will access the options menu from where you can:

  • Edit the calendar name
  • Edit its color (useful if you have many calendars)
  • Copy private link to get the calendar URL to sync it with other devices
  • Download it (in which case a .ics will be created for that)
  • Delete it

Create an event

To create a new event in your calendar just click on the date of the event. An options window will appear with very basic options such as Event title, choose which calendar to link it to, if it is an All day event or set the time range of it.

You can access more detailed options by clicking on the More button. A panel will appear on the right side, where you can add more complete information of the event.

In this panel you can:

  • Edit the Event title
  • Set the Start/End date and time
  • Select if it is an All day event
  • Add a location
  • Add a description
  • Set the overall status of the event (Confirmed/Tentative/Cancelled)
  • The visibility of the event when the calendar containing it is shared (Show full event/Show only busy/Hide the event)
  • How the event should be taken into account when calculating Free/Busy information
  • Add a Category to help you structure and organize your events
  • Edit the color

If you have multiple calendars, in your Disroot calendar app, you need to select to which calendar the event goes to. You can do that below the event title field.

You can set a reminder for the event by pressing "Reminders" and "Add"

You can select what type of reminder you want:

  • audio
  • email
  • pop up

And set the time for it.

Just press the reminder you added and the options will show up.

You can also set if this is a repeating event or not. Just check repeating options.

Invite people to events

You can also invite people to your event via email by:

  • pressing "Attendees"
  • Filing the field with the persons email address
  • press enter

The people you invite will receive an automaticly generated email with the invitation. Any changes you make to the event will be automatically sent by email to the person you've added.

When you're done with everything, just press create at the end of the panel, and your event will appear on the screen

Edit or delete events

To edit or delete an event you've created, just click the event on your screen, edit it and then press "update". To delete it, you will find the big red button.

Share calendars

You can share your calendars, either with another disroot user, via email, or public link.

To share with another Disroot user:

  • press the the share button on the right of your calendar name
  • type the username of the Disroot user that you want to share the calender with
  • press enter.

To share calendars via email or public link:

  • go to the same "shared" option
  • select "Share link"
  • fill the email address field with the email of the person you want to share your calendar with
  • press enter
  • to just get the link press the chain symbol next to the mail envelope symbol

Import calendars

If you have a ICS file with a calendar to import, go to disroot calendar app then go to "Settings & Import" on the lower left corner of the screen.

And select import calendar option.
