- Two Weeks - This is a two-week view of your events
- Monthly - A view of your events for the month
- Agenda - This allows you to see one week at a time, beginning with current day
- Condensed - This is good for printing your calendar and only showing the time and event name

Event Status Colors
-
Yellow events are pending the regular layer of approval ("Requires Administrative Approval" and "Requires Sub-admin Approval"). These will only display for ALL users if admins have that setting enabled under Settings>Advanced>General>Event Creation.
- If your account also has pre-approval enabled, then events that have not been pre-approved yet will be yellow with a tag that says pending pre-approval.
- Green events are ones that have gone through the regular layer of approval. If your account has final approval also enabled, then they will be green with a tag that says "Pending Final Approval" until they are also final approved.
- Gray events are ones that need to be submitted for approval.
- White and crossed-out events are canceled events and will only show if admins have that setting enabled under Settings>Advanced>General>Display Features.
Calendar Filtering & Saving Filters
All users can filter events by the choices presented in the Filter Option. This is a great tool for sub-admins so they can filter the calendar by their approval area(s) in order to easily see the events that affect them. After filter choices are made, you can save that view. Read more below to learn how!
- 1. To filter simply click the blue "Filter Calendar" button and a pop-up window will appear, where you can select your filter options (see below).
- 2. In the pop-up box you can choose as many filter options as you need.
- Once you select your filter options, you can either click A. "Apply" or B. "Create View" which will save your filter selections.
- A. If you click apply, then you will see the events filtered by your selections. The filter(s) will remain active on the filter for a time but can be cleared at any point by clicking "Clear Filter".
Saved Calendar View
- B. If you select to create a saved calendar view you will then be presented with the option to name it and internally share it so other eSPACE users can see it as well in their eSPACE account.
-
- Once you have a saved calendar view, click "Saved Views".
- In the pop-up box, you can A. choose to "Load", "Edit", or "Delete" any saved calendar view that you have created. B. You can also choose one of the save views to be your personal default view, which once chosen, will automatically load anytime you return to the internal calendar views.
- Each user, sub-admin, admin, and Calendar View Only user in eSPACE can set their own default saved view.
In order to clear any active filter selection, whether from a saved calendar view or not, click "Clear Filter".
Viewing Events Based on Spaces, Resources, Services Booked
