Agenda

My agenda

The PROFILE > Agenda option displays your agenda/calendar, a list of events sorted by start date (default option) or end date.

You can reach this option in 4 different ways:

  • by clicking on the PROFILE tab and then selecting the Agenda option
  • directly by clicking on the day of the month on the current date shown in the upper left corner of the page
  • by clicking on the Agenda icon of your public profile or your record card
  • by scanning the QR code associated with your agenda

Selection of events to show

You can filter the events to display by selecting or deselecting the following 6 options grouped in 3 pairs:

  • First pair:

    • Past and present events
      • events from the oldest until today, included
    • Current and future events (selected by default)
      • events from today, included, to the farthest in the future
  • Second pair:

    • Private events (selected by default)
      • events only visible to you
    • Public events (selected by default)
      • events visible by you and any user who shares courses with you
  • Third pair:

    • Hidden events
      • events that you have marked as visible
    • Visible events (selected by default)
      • events that you have marked as hidden

In each pair, you can select one of the two options, both options, or none. If in any of the three pairs you deselect both options, no event will be displayed in the list.

Today's events

Today's events, if any, are highlighted in the Today box at the top of the list.

List of events

For each event the following information is displayed:

  • Start date
  • End date
  • Event
  • Location
  • Description (optional)

Public agenda

Your public agenda is a subset of your agenda consisting of all present and future events marked by you as public (open green lock icon) and visible (eye icon). As in your agenda, on a public agenda current date events are highlighted in the Today box at the top of the list.

Any user who shares courses with you can see your public agenda, and can reach it in two ways:

  • by clicking on the Agenda icon of your public profile or your record card
  • by scanning the QR code associated with your agenda, if you print it and place it somewhere visible, such as the door of your office

QR code

If you click on the QR code icon in the upper left corner of PROFILE > Agenda, a QR code that contains a link to your public agenda is displayed. The image with the QR code can be printed and fixed on the door of your office. Students can scan the QR code with their smart phones to access the SWAD platform, log in and view the current and future events of your agenda that you have marked as public and visible events.

New event

To create a new event, you must click on the New event icon (plus sign) at the top left of the box or the New event button at the end of the event list. A form appears with the following fields:

  • Event. A title for the event.
  • Location. Place where the event is located.
  • Start date. Date and time when the event begins.
  • End date. Date and time when the event ends.
  • Description. Optional description about the event.

When you fill in the fields, you must press the button Create event. The new event will be listed.

Edit event

To remove an event click the Remove icon (red cross) located under the event dates.

To hide a visible event click the Hide icon (eye) located under the event dates. To unhide a hidden event click the Unhide icon (strikethrough eye) located under the event dates.

To edit an event click the Edit icon (pencil) located under the event dates, fill the form fields and press the Save button.

To make an event public, that is, visible by users who share some course with you, click the icon representing a closed red lock. To make an event private, that is, only visible by you, click the icon representing an open green lock.
