Calendars

Web Calendars in Ektron CMS400.NET perform the same function as a paper calendar - they keep visitors informed about upcoming events. They can be displayed to all Web site visitors, and any authorized user can add events to a calendar.

Typical calendar events include

company meeting

reserving a conference room for an interview

company holidays
