Calendar Preferences

The Stanford Calendar Preferences allows you to select the way you want to view your calendar, the day you prefer to start your week, whether or not to always display the mini-calendar, what action to take after responding to invites, and more. After you change your settings, remember to click Save before navigating to another page.

To get to the Calendar preferences, on the main toolbar, click the Preferences tab.

In Preferences, select Calendar.

• Always show the mini-calendar. By placing a checkmark in this box, you will always have access to the mini calendar in the lower left corner of the screen.
