Calendar

Calendar helps you see everything going on in your Household.
Automatic Refresh
The Calendar screen will automatically refresh, making it perfect for a tablet or kiosk. The refresh times are:
- Every minute: Update the current time
- Every 30 minutes: Update the current date range (e.g. if you flip to the next week, Calendar will move back to the current week automatically)
You can combine the Calendar view and Session Permissions to have a limited access, shared “digital calendar” on a tablet or other device.
Events
Events are things that are happening within your household.
Participants
Events can have participants, members of your household that will be at the event. When this is set, only those members will be notified of the Event, and the Event will use the household member’s colors.
Location and Travel
Adding a Location to the event will give you a handy Google Maps link for directions to the location. You can also add Travel Time for an event to have Homechart calculate a Leave By time and notify you on when you need to leave.
Recurring Events
Events can be recurring by ticking Recurring at the bottom. You can then set the recurring schedule.
Export/Import Calendars
Homechart can export your calendar for use with other calendaring applications via ICS/iCalendar Feed. Tap Add > Export Calendar to get a URL that you can add to your calendaring tool.
Likewise, Homechart can import calendars from other applications that expose an ICS/iCalendar Feed. Tap Add > Import Calendars to add them.
