Using the Calendar Module
This section provides an overview of the Calendar module and discusses how to:
Work with the Calendar pagelet.
Work with the Upcoming Events pagelet.
Use the Calendar module to maintain and manage the workspace calendar and events to coordinate the activities of the workspace team. Workspace members can share, organize, and communicate about events that pertain to the workspace through the workspace calendar.
Using the Calendar module, you can:
Schedule and display holidays.
Synchronize events from holiday calendars to the workspace calendar.
Specify weekends in the workspace calendar (in addition to the installation options).
Workspace members can also view calendar events in the Calendar pagelet and the Upcoming Events pagelet on the workspace homepage or in the full-page view in the Calendar module.

When you click the Calendar link in the workspace menu, you access the Calendar page, which functions similarly to the Calendar page in the portal.
