The ERS online calendar is organized around four views: day, week, month, and year. These links are always visible at the upper left of the screen. The currently active view is displayed in the red status bar above the event listings.

If you search by a category, or advanced search criterion, the resulting events will be presented IN THE SAME VIEW from which you started (day, week, etc.).

Once you have selected a search criterion, you may change views and you will still see only events matching that criterion.

Day View

By default the day view for the current day is shown. To see the day view for another day, click on that day in the small calendar array at left.

Week View

By default the week view displays the current week. If you select a specific day from the small calendar and then click on 'week', you will see the week in which that day appears.

Within the week view, you can see all events for a specific day by clicking on the listing for that day. To see the events in a specific category for that day, click on the category name (the appended number indicates how many events in that category occur on that day). NOTE that once you click on the category name, that category will stay active, regardless of which view you select, until you click on 'All Events'.

Month View

The default month view presents an array of dates (in columns) on which events occur in each category (in rows). The dates are divided into weeks (gray column backgrounds indicate weekends) for easier scanning. Clicking on a date in a category row takes you to a day view showing events on that day FOR THAT CATEGORY ONLY.

To see all the month's events in list form, click on the name of the month at the top of the left column. (NOTE: This may be an extremely long list. By default it is presented in pages, with an option to select a scrollable list. The scrollable list for 'all events' may be very slow to load or exceed your available memory.) To see a list of the month's events in a specific category, click on that category's name in the left column.

Year View

The year view presents dates arranged in small monthly arrays. Those dates on which events are scheduled appear as blue links. Click on any date to see the day view for that date. If you choose the 'week' or 'month' view from the day view, you will see the week or month in which that date appears. You can specify a search criterion, such as an event category, from within the year view. If you do, only dates with events in that category will show active links. Remember to click on 'All Events' to release the category search criterion.

Selecting a Month

By default, the current and coming month will be displayed in the small calendar arrays at the left of the screen. To display a future month, choose from the month menu bar.

Navigation Arrows

The arrows on either side of the date at the top of the screen allow you to move forward or back in time by one unit, according to which view is active. For instance, if the year view is active, click on the left arrow to see the previous year's display; if the day view is active, click an arrow to see the previous or coming day's events.
