About calendars

Your personal FirstClass calendar is like a personal organizer. It records calendar events and tasks.
Unlike a personal organizer, you can permit other people to view and update your FirstClass calendar. This allows everyone to schedule meetings at mutually convenient times.
FirstClass calendars work much like conferences; your administrator may create public calendars and give you access to them, or you can create your own calendars and give others access to them.

Types of calendars

FirstClass supports the following types of calendars:

personal calendar	Your own calendar. You can limit others' access to your personal calendar by updating your calendar permissions, just as you would update the permissions of a calendar that you created.
group calendar	A public calendar that lets a specific group of people coordinate their time and tasks.
resource calendar	A public calendar that represents a specific resource, such as a projector. A resource calendar is updated when users book the resource as part of creating a calendar event.
location calendar	A public calendar that represents a specific resource, such as a meeting room. Location calendars are updated just like resource calendars.
