Create a New Calendar


With Google Calendar you are not restricted to having
one calendar crammed with all your birthdays, events,
appointments and holidays. To make things less messy, it
is possible to create several calendars if, for example,
you want to keep personal and business entries
completely separate.

Click the Create Button
❱ Just click on the Plus sign in the bottom right of your Calendar
window, this will bring you to a page where you can enter as
much information as you’d like about your event. On this page,
you can also add guests, change a reminder setting and publish
your event to other users. Once you’ve entered the appropriate
information and selected the desired settings, click Save.


Using Google Tasks
❱ You can access Google Tasks directly from the Calendar
application. By linking these apps together you can quickly work
between the two as follows. Open Google Calendar and log in if
required. Now click the Tasks icon from the sidebar found on the
right hand side of the window. Click Add a task and then start to
enter your details via the new task link in Google Calendar.
You can now add tasks to this listing. You can directly add
an item from this list to your Calendar by choosing a date in the
properties of the task itself. You can edit a task directly from the
Calendar app by clicking the pencil icon. From this link you can
add a description, change the details and move or delete it.


Step 1
❱ At the left-hand side of the Google Calendars screen,
look for the section labelled My Calendars. Click on the
small arrow button and select Create New Calendar.

Step 2
❱ Give your new calendar a title and write a description
if you wish. The location box is useful if the calendar is to
be public, as it makes it easier for your friends or family
to find events on it.

Step 3
❱ All of the calendars you create will be listed under My
Calendars on the left side of your page. Just click on the
name to select it. For each of the calendars, you can add,
delete and edit events any time you like.
