Instructor: “The Calendar tab is an essential piece to successfully manage an engaging activity plan in Sagely. Calendars can be viewed on the Month, Week and Day level. Adding calendars will enable you to organize your events by associating the Calendar with a name, color and calendar type (Normal or Holiday). Once you have created the necessary calendars for your community, you can start adding events. To add an event, click on the day you would like for it to start. You can add an event name, location, time and frequency of the event, add tags, instructors, and the calendar you wish to add the event to.”
Key points: Calendar must be named according to the levels of care, Make sure your calendars are different colors to be easily identified, best practices to not delete calendars but to archive so you do not lose resident information
