# Groupware Calendar

The **Groupware Calendar** is a module of the [[groupware]] platform provided by the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]]. It allows university members to manage appointments online and coordinate schedules.

## Functional Areas
The module is organized into four primary sections:
1. **General Functions**: Contains tools for adding/removing entries, switching view modes (day, week, or month), and a "Administration" (gear icon) button for personal settings.
2. **Appointment Area**: The main interactive calendar grid. Appointments can be created by clicking a time slot, dragging a time window, or using the "Add" button.
3. **Calendar List**: Displays all calendars the user has been granted access to. It supports a "Favorites" list and allows users to overlay multiple calendars as visual layers.
4. **Resource List**: A dedicated area for viewing the availability of and booking shared resources, such as meeting rooms.

## Permissions and Privacy
The system operates on a **Privacy by Default** principle:
- **Default State**: No calendars are shared by default.
- **Explicit Granting**: Users must manually configure permissions to allow others to view their calendar (read access) or modify it (write access).
- **Availability**: Access to a user's general "availability" (free/busy status) must also be explicitly enabled.

## Support
Technical issues are managed through the URZ's central support channels:
- **Ticket System**: Integrated within the [[groupware]] platform.
- **Hotline**: Extension 1420.
