Calendar
The calendar provides a consolidated view of all school events across multiple, colour-coded calendars to help you visualise availability and avoid scheduling conflicts.
Calendar types:
Automatic Calendars: Generated by EMS360 for key event types (e.g., Student Events, Professional Learning, Blockout Dates).
Custom Calendars: Created by your school for any purpose (e.g., "Sports Carnivals," "Parent-Teacher Conferences").
How to use the calendar
Filtering calendars
All calendars are listed in the left-hand panel. Each has a unique color.
To show or hide a specific calendar, simply click its name in the list. The events for that calendar will appear or disappear from the main view.
Navigating the timeline
Use the toolbar at the top to control your view:
Change View: Switch between Day, Week, or Month perspectives.
Jump to Today: Click the "Today" button to instantly return to the current date.
Move Through Time: Use the < (Previous) and > (Next) arrows to navigate backward or forward.
Interacting with events
Events are displayed as color-coded bars matching their calendar.
Click any event to open a pop-up window with its full details.
On busy days, you may see a "+ more" link. Click it to see a complete list of all events for that day.
