What is the Calendar?
Calendaring plays a pivotal role in individuals’ success by providing structure and centralizing essential information. Accessible via the navigation menu, the Calendar feature serves an important role in managing daily activities and schedules. From the calendar interface, users can export data, add routines, and include new events. Events are categorized and color-coded, promoting clarity for users.
How Does the Calendar Work?
The Calendar is designed to enhance time management by offering a comprehensive and user-friendly tool for scheduling and tracking important events and routines. Students can input their class schedules, assignment deadlines, and personal appointments, while setting custom reminders and notifications to stay on top of their responsibilities. Administrators can also input events, invite students to events, assign routines to students, and more. Additionally, the Calendar can be shared with mentors and program administrators, facilitating a coordinated support system that helps students manage their commitments and achieve their goals. The Calendar is visible on each student's Equip app, and it is visible on their profile page for administrators.
