How do I create an event on my Calendar?
To create a single event, double-click the calendar to which you
want to add the event. It will become highlighted with the longest bar of color. You may add an event four different ways:
For any view: Click Add Event, and fill in the information.
Month View: Double-click the calendar day where you want to add the event and then, double-click the time box corresponding to your event start time.
Month View: Double-click the calendar day where you want to add the event and then, double-click the time box corresponding to your event start time.
Day or Week View: Double-click the calendar day at the time you want to add the event, the Event Details dialog box will appear and show the start time of the event the same as where you clicked. You may need to adjust the end time of the event.
Day or Week View: Click at the start time of your event (within the correct date) and drag your mouse down to when the event ends, and then release your mouse. The day and time of your event will be automatically entered into the Event Details dialog box.
How do I enter an event that doesn't have a specific time?
To enter an event that does not have a specific time during the day, first create an event in your calendar. Then, in the Event Details dialog box, choose No Time. When viewing your Jooners' Calendar, this event will be shown at the top of your calendar in the light gray bar. Examples of No Time events are vacations, when company is visiting, school holidays, etc.
How do I create a series of repeating events on my calendar?
To add a series of repeating events on your calendar, create an event
following the same steps as those used in scheduling a single event.
Then click the box next to Repeat Event,
and a drop down dialog box will give you various choices for the
frequency of the repeating event. You can use the pop-up month calendar
to quickly select the last day of the repeating period. Then click
Save, and the series of events will show on your calendar.
When I create a new event, on what calendar will it appear?
Your newly created event will show up in the calendar that you
selected, which is identified by the highlighted extended color bar
over the calendar name. When you are inside the Event Details dialog box, you also can choose which calendar to drop an event into by clicking on the drop-down arrow that says Calendar (top, right-hand side), and selecting the specific calendar in which you would like the event to appear.
How can I print my schedule?
A print button appears at the top of the different views (day, month, and year) of your calendar directly under the turquoise header.
All printing appears in the agenda style, with a list of
events and times for each. If you want a picture of your calendar (so
that it resembles the calendar view), then you need to take a
screenshot using the Print Screen button on your PC keyboard or Grab
application on a Mac (tip: Control+SHIFT+3). You can then paste this image into a MS Word file and print it.
How do I invite guests to an event?
To invite someone to an event entered on your calendar, double-click the event to bring up the Event Details dialog box. Click the Invite Guests tab at the top. To select the guests that will receive an email invitation, click the Select from My Groups & My People
button. Select the groups or individuals to be invited to your event, or
you may type in the email addresses directly into the text box. You may
enter a customized note to your guests that will appear on the
invitation – which will automatically include the name of the event,
date, time, and location details. Click Preview to see how the invitation will look before sending. If you are not quite ready to send the invitation, simply click Save,
and all the selections and entries you have made will be saved, but no
invitations will be sent yet. When you are ready to send the
invitation, click the Send button, and your invitation will
automatically be sent via email to the people and groups you have
selected. Recipients will be able to RSVP for your event online. Click the Invite Guests tab to see the RSVP list in the Guest Summary.

How do I assign drivers for an event listed on my calendar?
You may assign drivers to an event that you created by selecting the Assign Drivers button in the Events Details dialog box. A Drivers tab will then appear at the top of the Event Details dialog box. Click this tab, and the Drivers dialog box will open. Fill in the driving time information and click Select Driver. This will take you to the Choose from My Calendars or My People dialog box. If you select a My Calendar, the driving event will appear on this calendar. If you select a driver from My People, no further action occurs. You are simply selecting a name for the driving responsibility to help you remember.
How will I be reminded of an event?
When you RSVP to an event, an email reminder will automatically be sent to your email, reminding you of the event and the number in your party that you included in your RSVP. The invitation will appear on your home page in your My Jooners box. Click this item to view the invitation at any time and, under the Invite Guests tab, learn who has RSVP'd and how many guests are in each party.

By clicking the Agenda button, you will see the view you have selected in an agenda format. There is also a mini-calendar you may access by clicking on the calendar icon in the Calendar page header located to the left side of the month. If you click on a date in the mini-calendar, it will drive the main calendar to that date.

The Calendar Details dialog box will then appear. Select Share under the What Others See drop down. You may then select Share Free Time or Share All Details. Sharing Free Time
enables all recipients with whom you shared your calendar only to see
when you are unavailable – but no other details. However, if you select
Share All Details, the recipients will see all the event
details you have entered on this particular calendar. This can be handy
to share a calendar with a spouse, child-care professional or best
friend. As you update a shared calendar, all changes are reflected
simultaneously and in real-time on your friends' or groups' view of
this shared calendar.
No. Only the person who created the calendar can make
changes within that particular calendar.Community Calendars
You may publish a calendar that can be accessed by any registered
Jooners member. To start, just follow the same steps noted above under Shared Calendars.

This button will take you to the Publish Your Calendar dialog box, where you will fill in a calendar title, choose the appropriate category within the Jooners Community Calendars section, fill-in the calendar related City and State (that is, the location of events), and a Brief Description of what the calendar includes. When you have filled out these fields, click the Submit button, and your calendar will be available in Community Calendars in the community
section of Jooners. All registered Jooners members will be able to see
all the details you have entered on a published calendar.
Yes. When you publish a calendar to the Jooners' Community Calendars,
it is automatically synchronized with your original calendar. If you
make changes to events, times, or details within the original calendar,
these changes also will be made instantaneously to the published Community Calendars
version. What cannot be changed are the details you entered when
originally publishing the calendar (e.g., the Calendar Title, Category,
City, State, and accompanying Brief Description). These details can be
changed, but only if you unpublish the calendar, then re-publish it
after you re-enter the fields in Publish Your Calendar window and click the Submit button.
Yes. To unpublish (but not delete) a calendar you previously shared or published to Community Calendars, go to the CALENDAR tab and select the specific calendar you want to unpublish. Then select Change/Share located above in the Calendar bar. The Calendar Details dialog box will appear. Click the Unpublish button, and this calendar will no longer appear in Community Calendars. However, the calendar still will be accessible to you or any other person with whom you shared the calendar. You can
republish it to Community Calendars again at a later time.FRIENDS
Scribbles
Scribbles are great fun! The Scribbles
feature is like a notepad where you can jot down quick notes to
yourself, high priority reminders, or even short communications you
want to send to a person or group. Scribbles may be sent via email or mobile phone text messaging system, or both! Scribbles
are a great way to broadcast a time-sensitive message quickly, such as
notifying a group or person that an event was cancelled or changed at
the last minute (such as soccer rainouts, meeting room changes, etc.).
