How to use

Google Calendar

Go to

http://google.com/calendar

You’ll have to Sign-in with a

Google account..

…to be able to go to

Google Calendar.

Now, welcome to

Google Calendar page!

This red line denotes current

place and time.

Here, you’ll see a smaller calendar

…where you can see the current

year,

…the current month,

…and the current day you’re in.

Here, you can also control on

what week or day..

..you want to view just by

clicking that certain week.

Also, you will notice two

sections below the small

calendar.

Open those two sections by

clicking the drop-down arrow..

…on its left side.

You can now see the

calendars on those

sections.

Notice that one calendar is

named after me

…because I have specified my

name

…as I have Signed-up to

Google Accounts

…which automatically created

a default calendar for me.

You can create your own

different calendars

…by clicking this drop-down

arrow

…then click “Create new

calendar”.

Just specify the calendar name,

…write a description if you

want,

…specify your location

…and check the Calendar time

zone.

You can make this calendar

public for Google search

results

…or share with specific people

by entering their email addresses.

Then click “Create Calendar”

Now you can see the new

calendar we’ve made.

However, from these buttons…

…you can change the view of

your calendar to

..day view,

..month view,

..4 days view,

..and Agenda view.

There are two ways to create

an event,

First is by clicking the Create button.

…which will require you to

manually enter

…the time and date of the

event you are creating.

Type-in the title of the

event,

…specify the date

…specify the time.

You can click if it’s

an All day event

…which will not require you

to specify the time.

Or you can click Repeat,

…to set it all up if it’s a repeat

event.

Site the location.

Choose on what calendar

the event is associated with.

Write a description (if you

want).

Add attachment/s (if

necessary).

You can change the Event

color,

…but it is important to stick

with the default

…calendar color for you to

monitor your events

…on what calendar that specific

event is associated with.

You can edit on how you

will be notified

…and how many minutes,

hours, days or weeks

…you will be notified before

the event.

You can also Add a

Notification.

Choose whether you will

be shown as Available or

Busy

..and change the

Visibility status.

You can also add guests by

entering their email

addresses

…and specify how they

can manage your event.

Click Save when you’re

done editing.

Once saved, you can now see

the event you’ve created.

Second option for creating

an event is by…

…clicking on the space where

the date and time

…of the event will occur.

Type-in the name of the event.

Notice the range of time is

1hour,

…but you can change it by

clicking “Edit Event”.

Then change to your

scheduled time.

Click Save.

You now have added a new

event!

Moreover, you can choose

from different colors

…to customize your

calendars and events.

Once you’ve changed the

calendar color,

…the events under that

calendar will automatically

change its color.

Events highlighted in a bar means

…that it’s a whole-day event.

While those which aren’t

highlighted, have specific time.

To change other Google

Calendar settings, click the

gear icon.

You can also change the

Display Density.

The important part of the

Settings,

…is to set the time zone

on your location.

Click “Save” after editing

your calendar settings.

Done for the Google Calendar

basics!

Yesterday was not your defining moment. The calendar moved forward; why not

you?
