Calendar Options: General

Use these options to set the default display of the users' Calendars, to set default appointment and workday durations, and to set default characteristics for appointment alarms

Month Display Option

First of Week
Sets the first day of the week that you want to display by default in the users' Calendars.

Highlight Day
Sets any days you want highlighted (for example, weekends and holidays) to display by default in the users' Calendars.

Show Week Number
Sets the week number to display by default in the users' Calendars.

Appointment Options

Include Myself on New Appointments
Automatically includes the sender in the To list when new appointments are created.

Display Appointment Length As

Duration
Turns on the duration (in hours and minutes) as the default format for a scheduled appointment in the users' Calendars.

End Date and Time
Turns on the start and end time as the default format for a scheduled appointment in the users' Calendars.

Default Length
Displays the duration you set (in hours and minutes) as the default for a new appointment in the users' Calendars. You might want to leave this setting unlocked, because the length of users' appointments often varies.

Alarm Options

Set Alarm When Accepted
Automatically presets a future alarm in the recipient's Calendar when he or she accepts an appointment.

Default Alarm Time
Sets the default number of minutes prior to an appointment when the recipient is notified by an alarm.

Work Schedule

Start Time
Displays your default setting as the start time for each day in the users' Calendars.

End Time
Displays your default setting as the end time for each day in the users' Calendars.

Work Days
Displays (by color contrast) the days of the week that you set as default work days in the users' Calendars.

Restore Default Settings
Click to return to the default settings and clear any options you have changed.

Lock Buttons
If you click a lock button on any option, users cannot change the default setting for that option. The lock is effective for the object where you set it: domain, post office, or user. A lock at a higher level overrides a different setting at a lower level.

When settings are locked at the domain or post office level, the information is distributed to the levels below it. If a setting is locked at the domain object, the setting in the post office and user objects shows a padlock with a globe next to it, representing a domain. If it is locked at the post office object, the setting at the user object shows a padlock with a postal box next to it, representing a post office.

If a setting cannot be locked at the user level because the option is not available in the GroupWise^® client, the setting in the user object does not contain a lock button. However, a lock icon shows if the setting was locked at the post office or domain.
