KB_Kalender.png  In your personal calendar, you can manage all your appointments in one place. You can create new private appointments or add course calendars. Further, it is possible to integrate external calendars via file upload (iCal format) or URL. Different colours will help you mark and differentiate calendar types.

The management of the personal calendar is only available in the desktop view. In the mobile view, use the portlet My dates on the home page to track your schedule. For more information, see the section Personalise home page.
