Creating the User Calendar in the Database

To add a user calendar to the database, follow these steps.
1. Log in to your Web site.
2. Navigate to your personal web page.
3. Click Edit Profile.
In this example, Edit Profile(circled below) is on a personal profile page of the eIntranet Starter Site.
4. The Edit Profile window appears.
5. Click the Custom tab.
6. Check the Create User Calendar box (circled below) to create a user calendar in the database.
Warning! After you save this profile, you cannot later uncheck this option.
7. Click Save.
Now, your calendar appears on your profile page. To add events, see Adding System Calendar Events.
