Configuring Calendar Plus General Settings

Overview of Calendar Plus Configuration settings

The Calendar Plus General Settings screen defines the general behavior of the web part.

NOTE: Unless otherwise stated the images in the Settings column represent the default configuration settings. In the table below, we provide some icons to help you quickly find a setting. You will not find them in the web part; they are provided here simply to help guide you to the appropriate setting as a visual guide.
