Using the Calendar

Use the Calendar to manage the time and keep track of scheduled activities and events. The Infor CRM SLX Calendar displays both open and completed activities and events, depending on the calendar options. You can view the schedule by the day, week, or month view. Use the calendar right-click menu to schedule, edit, complete, or delete activities and events.

The calendar security determines whose activities you can schedule, view, edit, complete or delete.

Events are displayed at the top of each day as scheduled and span from the start date to the end date. Unconfirmed activities appear on the calendar with diagonal white lines in the activity heading. Use the Timeless Activities section to view activities scheduled to start during the selected time period but do not have a specific start time.

Depending on the access rights, you can view the calendars and activities of other Infor CRM SLX users. Each user has an assigned color to help identify which activities are for each user.

Note: The security access determines what functions are available. Contact the administrator for any access rights changes. WebViewer users cannot access full functionality.
