OnMyCalendar Features
OnMyCalendar provides a very powerful set of tools to improve communication with your audience and reduce your workload.
OnMyCalendar's tools are very easy to set up and use. If you already have a web site, simply paste the 'embed code' in your
web page and you're set. If you don't have a web site, use OnMyCalendar's Personal Web Site tool to create one.
OnMyCalendar let's you grow at your pace. Start by using one tool, then begin using other tools as you see a need for them.
Integration
- Embed calendars, listings and forms in your web pages for a seamless presentation, adjusting colors and fonts to match your site's look
- Or, simply add links to your web menu and let OnMyCalendar display the items as web pages
- If you use OnMyCalendar's Personal Web Site, your calendars, listings and forms will display as web pages on your site automatically
- There is no hardware or software to buy or maintain
Updates as easy as 1, 2, 3
No more web programming. After you set up an account, updating your site is very simple.
- Log in to OnMyCalendar
- Add or update items using simple data entry forms
- Changes are displayed immediately on your web page
- No more HTML programming or uploading changes using FTP
Reporting
Most web site statistics are nearly useless because they don't know an image file from a home page. OnMyCalendar,
on the other hand, provides useful reports that help you understand your audience. With our reports, for example,
you can easily recognize which events on your calendar are receiving the most interest from web visitors.
Unlimited web visitors
Some web services charge fees based on the number of web visitors that view your pages. Not OnMyCalendar. Our fees
are based on the web services you use.
Calendars
Create one or more calendars to display your events to web visitors. You can create customized 'Upcoming Events' calendars,
standard monthly, weekly and daily
calendars, 'Past Events' calendars and many more.
There are hundreds of customizations you can make so that your calendar fits your needs and integrates tightly with your web
site's format and colors.
Create multiple calendars
Create different calendars to meet your needs. Common examples include:
- Consolidated month-at-a-glance calendars that shows the big picture
- Upcoming Events calendars to highlight near-term events
- Recent Activities calendars that lists prior events
- Daily View and/or Weekly View calendars
- Calendars displaying events from one or more specific categories
- Special event calendars locked to a specific date range
- Combine any of these ideas to fit your needs

Folders
Folders allow you to organize your information for easy access and management.
Folders also allow you to create specialized calendars for a given topic (e.g., Football schedule),
calendars for a subset of folders (e.g., all sports),
as well as consolidated calendars pulling events from all folders.
- Use folders to create 'categories' (e.g., Football, Baseball, Tests)
- Or set up folders that match your organization (e.g., one per team)
- Set up calendars to include events from any combination of folders
- Give users access only to the specific folders they need to use
- Create calendars that allow web visitors to filter events by category
Userids / Administration
To add or update items in your account, you must have a userid.
OnMyCalendar provides a very flexible userid management system.
You can create multiple userids and assign them full or restricted access to your account.
- Specify which folders a userid can access
- Specify what functions a userid can use
- Allow users to add events but not change or delete existing events
- Or allow users to change or delete only those events they've added
- Allow users to enter events that are not published until they are approved by an editor
Writer-Editor Workflow
For the greatest productivity, it is useful to allow writers to enter events or news items directly into the system. But it is often necessary for a webmaster or editor to review the additions before they are published. OnMyCalendar provides writer-editor workflow features.

Import / Export
OnMyCalendar provides a variety of ways to import and export your data. Import data using spreadsheet/CSV or iCal data formats. Export data to RTF, text, HTML e-mail, or CSV formats.
Export calendars to native word processing formats so that you can edit your calendars and include them in your documents, print them in a paper-friendly manner, or add them as an attachment to e-mail newsletters.
Want to include your calendars in your e-mail newsletters? OnMyCalendar can generate e-mail specific calendars that can be directly pasted into your newsletter function.
