Calendars and Mobile Setup Controls
If your calendar holds the legend to your life, then you need to have complete control of it. That means being about to change how you’re notified about appointments, or even how you can access your calendar when you’re on the go. With the Google Calendars and Mobile Setup tabs, you have complete control of all your calendars, on one page.
The Calendars setting:
1. Log into Google Calendar.
2. From your main Google Calendar screen, click the Settings link at the top.
3. At the top of the yellow box, under the words Calendar Settings, click the Calendars tab. This is where you share calendars, select notifications types, hide and delete calendars. The controls are split in two categories. My Calendars controls calendars you create. Other Calendars control calendars other people have shared with you.
My Calendar Controls:
On the far left of the box, you will see the heading CALENDAR. Beneath that heading, all your calendars will be listed in alphabetical order.
The next column is SHARING. This is where you set sharing properties for each calendar. You can also set sharing properties from the calendar box on the left hand side of every screen by clicking on the arrow, and selecting Share this calendar.
The third column is NOTIFICATIONS. This is where you set the type of notification you prefer for each calendar. You can also change notification settings from the calendar box on the left side of every screen, by clicking the arrow and selecting Notifications.
Next to notifications is the word Hide, click this if you’d like to hide the calendar from view. You can also hide calendars from the calendar box on the left hand side of each screen.
Finally, you will see a trash can icon. This will delete the specified calendar. At the end of your calendar list, there is a button which allows you to create a new calendar.
Other Calendar Controls:
In this section you can control notification settings, hide or show, and delete calendars.
When you’re finished, click Save to save your settings and return to the default calendar view.
