The top menu of a calendar offers two additional actions and that move the calendar view to the current date or to a date that you specify. Note that date specification depends on the current calendar viewing options: when in month view, you may only select a specific month.
If you are working on a Windows platform locally,
•you can synchronize all appointments of a BSCW calendar with the appointments in an Outlook calendar using in the top menu (see 13.8 Outlook synchronization for details).
Further you may export calendar data as PDF file for printing
•by selecting in the top menu. You may choose from monthly, weekly and list view and set the period of time for which you want the calendar dat to be printed.
The action menu of an appointment contains the actions you may use to handle your appointments. The following actions are specific actions for appointments.
•
exports the appointment data in a format understood by other calendar tools,
e.g., Outlook and OpenOffice/LibreOffice. An according file is sent to your Web
browser for import of the appointment by such calendar tools. You may also
export all appointments of a calendar using
in the top menu.
•Appointment data in the ‘iCalendar’ format (MIME type
text/calendar, Windows file extension *.ics) can also be imported
to a BSCW calendar using
in the top menu. Alternatively, you can
upload one or several .ics files via drag & drop.
•
confirms your participation in the appointment (action available when you are
invited as participant and have not yet confirmed).
•
declines your participation in the appointment (action available when you are
invited as participant and have not yet declined).
•
cancels the complete appointment, i.e. the status is set to ‘cancelled’, all
participants are notified by e-mail about the cancellation and eventual
reminders will no longer be sent. Cancellation of an appointment deletes the
appointment from the calendar where the action was carried out. By default, this
action is only possible for managers.
•
lets you edit the diverse properties of an appointment.
•
lets you attach a document, URL or note to an appointment. Attachments are
indicated in the day and month view by an 
icon if the
according option has been activated via
.
Click on this icon to access the attachments folder. Document and URL
attachments to appointments are handled like attachments to
notes. Note attachments are added to the attachments folder as
stand-alone notes.
•
adds a link to an appointment of a group
calendar to your personal calendar.
The rest of the actions in the appointment action menu consists of generic actions showing the same behaviour for appointments as they do for other objects.
