You can manage your calendars with a click on the "Calendar" +button in the top right corner. In the dialog, which will appear, you can add, +edit, export, enable, disable and delete your calendars. There will be also a +link for CalDav access. + +Synchronising Calendars with CalDav +----------------------------------- + +You can access your calendars with CalDAV-compatible programs like +Kontact, Evolution, Thunderbird using the following URL:: + + http://ADDRESS/apps/calendar/caldav.php + +To use the ownCloud calendar with Apple iCal you will need to use the following +URL, including the trailing slash:: + + http://ADDRESS/apps/calendar/caldav.php/principals/username/ + +Mozilla Lightning users need to this URL scheme:: + + https://ADDRESS/remote.php/caldav/calendars/USERNAME/CALENDARNAME + +.. note:: The calendar name must alway be specified in URL-encoding_. + +.. figure:: images/calendar_caldav.png + + Example for a simple calendar: The default calendar is always + called "defaultcalendar", and the users' name here is "oc". + +.. _URL-encoding: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding + +Creating events +--------------- + +To create an event just click on the date in the month view or choose the +timeframe in the weekview.

If +you choose in the weekview all days from Monday to Friday it will automatically +set the repeat rule to "every weekday". If the interval of the weekview can be +devided by two it automatically set the repeat rule to "Bi-Weekly". + +Exporting / Importing events +---------------------------- + +Export +~~~~~~ + +.. figure:: images/calendar_export.png + :scale: 50 + +You can export either a single event or a whole calendar. If you want to export +a single event click on it and press the export button in the bottom right +corner.
