Categories

Under Portal Manager > Tools & Administration > Categories you can create categories and subcategories and assign them to elements like users, helpdesk tickets and companies among many others. Using categories you can create a clear structure and categorisation of your elements - for example by assigning users (elements) to certain industries (categories).
You can create categories and subcategories as well as edit, move and delete existing ones in order to adjust the categories to your current needs.



How can I display the calendar for guests?

The public calendar works only if the module Network & Community is part of your pakage. If that is the case the application link "Events" has to be active (Tools & Administration > Design & Layout > Application Links/Overview > Tab Network & Community/Events).

By default only users with the role "Calendar User" and Portal Master of course are allowed to enter public events. But you can also allow this e.g. all of your members or only your Premium Members, by assigning the permission "calendar_create_public" to the corresponding user role (Tools & Administration > Access Rights/Permissionss).

What's the difference between Visibility and Preselection of visibility?

Visibility: Here you select the options which you want to provide your users when adding a new event. Based on your selection of activated options the users then can decide, for whom they want to make the event visibile.

Preselection of visibility: Here you make a preselection of the active options of the visibility, which the user, who adds an event sees, e.g. by default "Only my contacts". Of course the user can select another option.

Why are public events displayed in my private events?

Public events which you attend as well as public events which you created yourself are displayed in your private events.

Why is the calendar not visible in the My Tools section?

There can be several reasons for the calendar not being displayed in My Tools:
  • In the Page Settings of My Tools the calendar is not made visible.
  • In the Application Links (Tools & Administration > Design & Layout > Application Links/Overview) the option My Tools (Tab Groupware) for the calendar is not activated.
  • No event/appointment was entered yet. The calendar gets displayed in My Tools not before there is at least one appointment.
