Calendar

 
The Merlin Calendar provides a great way to show scheduled events. It can be used on a community web site to keep the community informed, or on a business web site to show product release dates, trainings, etc.

Multiple calendars (with different titles, links, and content) can be set up.

Highlights include:

The Public Calendar Link one or more Merlin Calendars to your website. Your site visitors will see:
  • A standard calendar with current month displayed.
  • Entered events bulleted in each day. Click for details.
  • Pull-down of months and years to quickly jump to a different calendar display.
  • "Next" and "Prior" buttons to scroll back and forth through months.
  • Optionally display months events as a list rather than a calendar. Shows Date, Day of Week, Start/End Times (optional), event title, and a link to details.
  • Logon button for users to log in and be able to enter events.
User Management The calendar offers several ways in which users can participate. Options include:
  • Full-access calendar - users can both register on the site and/or view the calendar. Registered users can enter events.
  • Restricted public gallery - users needing to enter events must be pre-registered by the administrator. No restrictions on viewing the calendar.
  • Private calendar - Only the administrator can add calendar events.
  • When a registered user logs on to the calendar, options open to:
    • Add, modify, delete events in an expandable tree structure.
    • Event fields include date, start time, end time, brief description, detailed description.
    • Optionally upload and attach a document (for users to download).
    • Easily add recurring events (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly).
