How to add an administrator for your AppalNet calendar, and set yourself an automatic reminder for each scheduled event.

To add a User for your calendar:

1. Log in to AppalNet.
2. On the top right navigation menu, click on "Calendar".
3. A new window pops up with your personal calendar.  Click on the "Calendars" tab (located on the left, near the top of the page).
4. Find your name in the list of calendars, and click on the "Edit" option to the right of your name.
5. A new window pops up with calendar information.  Click on the "Permissions" tab (located on the left, near the top of the page).
6. In the middle of the page, on the right hand side, there is a textbox next to a button labeled "Add User".  Type "bookoutea" into the textbox and click "Add User".
7. A new row is added to your calendar user list with the username.  To give someone permission to add events to your calendar, check all of the Permissions boxes to the right of username.
8. In the bottom right corner, click "OK".
9. A user has been added to your calendar!

If you don't regularly check this calendar, you can set up automatic reminders and receive an email a specified period of time before each scheduled event.

To set automatic reminders for scheduled events:

1. Log in to AppalNet.
2. On the top right navigation menu, click on "Calendar".
3. A new window pops up with your personal calendar.  Click on the "Options" tab (located near the top of the page).
4. Scroll to the bottom of the window, and check the box under "Event & Task Reminders." 
5. Select the amount of time before each event that you'd like to receive the email.  (To best utilize this feature, schedule your reminders according to how frequently you check your email.  i.e. 24 hours in advance or early in the morning on the day of the event).
6. If you wish to be notified when someone schedules an event on your calendar, scroll to the bottom of the window, and check the box under "Event Notifications."
7. Click the "Save Changes" button at the bottom right corner of the screen.
8. You are now set up to receive automatic reminders for scheduled events!
