5.2. The multiple views
The first thing we will do is get you familiar with some of the views that you can have of your calendar. The view that you will probably see the most is the one you see when you click on the 'Calendar' link in your mainmenu. It will give you an overview of appointments for the next 4 weeks and it looks like the screen you see in the next picture.
The TUTOS main calendar
The days all have their separate box and all have a certain color. The current day is marked in green, national holidays are shown in dark red. It depends on your personal user settings which nations holidays are shown. The screen shown also has a number of options that we will discuss here to ease your navigation through the system. At the top of the screen is says "For" and next to it is a pulldown list (where it currently says 'User Linus B Torvalds') with in this case the options 'Team The Others', 'Team TUTOS Development', 'User Linus B Torvalds', 'Members of all your teams' and 'All you can see'. With this selection list you can select what you would like to see in your calendar. On the right of this selection list are a number of links for easy navigation. The texts should be self-explanatory but it you don't mind looking like a fool I suggest you ask your nearest colleague about their respective meaning.
In the calendar itself there are also some things to take note of. On the left there are the weeknumbers displayed and they are clickable as well to give you a week-view of your appointments. Such a week-view looks like the one in the next picture. Please note that now you can not select what you do or do not like to see displayed.

We are not there yet. It is also possible to get a day-view of all your appointments. Simply click on the day itself (here we clicked on 'Monday') and you are there as you can see in the next picture.

Returning to the 4-week view with which we started earlier is very easy. Just click on 'Calendar' in the menu of the left. Now it is getting time to start creating appointments of our own. Read all about it in the next section!
