Add a New Calendar Event

You can add events to your calendar at any time.

To add a new event to your calendar:

  1. On the Talent Management toolbar, click the Calendar icon and then click My Calendar.
  2. On the Add Event tab of the My Calendar screen, in the Event Name field, enter a descriptive title for the event.
  3. If the event has taken place or the task is completed, select the Completed option.
  4. To specify the event classification, set the Type option to Event, Task, Reminder, or Interview.
  5. If the event is an interview, set the corresponding Interview Type option to provide additional information about it:
    OptionDescription
    Single Event Select this option to schedule a traditional interview for a single candidate and specify the interview's duration.
    Scheduled Slots Select this option to schedule multiple interviews within a span of time, using designated time slots. When a candidate selects a time slot, that slot is no longer available to others.

    Event duration and slot length determine the number of slots. For example, if the event is scheduled for 03:00pm to 05:00pm and the slot length is 30 minutes, the interview recipients can select from four slots.

    When you select this interview type, additional fields display:

    • Slot Length: Select the duration for each slot.
    • Claimed Slots: This field displays the number of interview slots claimed so far.
    • Available Slots: This field displays the number of interview slots remaining.
    Group Event Select this option to allow multiple candidates to interview at any time during a window of time that you specify.
  6. Specify the date, start time, and end time for the event using the Date, To, and From options.
  7. To add another date for the same event, click Add Another Date.
  8. If you color code events, click in the Event Color Code field to select a color or enter a color code.
  9. In the Location field, enter the location of the event.
  10. To specify the type of notifications received by anyone sharing the event, use the Notification field to specify one of the following:
    OptionDescription
    None No reminders are sent for the event.
    Email An email reminder is sent.
    Pop Up Window (if on site) A reminder displays when you log on.
