Calendar Types

This page will describe the Calendar Types and how it will change the main calendar view.

Overview

The main calendar view of Rapla depends on the selected calendar type: Events, Appointments, Day, Day/Resource, Week, Week/Resource, or Month. Selecting any of the calendar types will change the Calendar Main View. You can always change your view anytime you want depending on the required or necessary view you want for all your sessions or events.

By default, Rapla is set into the Week Calendar Type.
