Configuring Your e-manage|ONE Calendars

In this section, we'll walk you through the process of configuring your e-manage|ONE calendars, whether it's your Installation Calendar or Service Calendar. Additionally, we'll cover how to apply color coding to both of these calendars. e-manage|ONE provides you with three calendar options to help you stay organized:

  1. Personal Calendar: This calendar option syncs seamlessly with your Outlook Calendar, making it convenient for personal scheduling.

  2. Installation Calendar: Use this calendar to schedule your projects efficiently, ensuring a clear overview of installation tasks and deadlines.

  3. Service Calendar: Keep track of your service-related items with this dedicated Service calendar.

While we'll focus on configuring the Installation Calendar in this guide, rest assured that once you've learned the process, you can easily apply the same steps to configure your Service Calendar as well. Let's get started!

It is important to note that Step 1 and Step 2 below are required to be configured on a per user basis!

Step 1: Access Calendar Management

  • Click on "Tools" → "Configure" → "User Settings."

Step 2: Select Install Types

  • Click on the Configure Install Calendar tab.

  • Select each Type that you want to show as your default types in the Install Calendar.

  • Then select “1” from the In This Calendar drop down and click Add.

  • Repeat these steps for each Type you want to be in Calendar #1 until you see all the Types you need in the lower section of the screen.

Most dealers have just ONE calendar but you can have as many as you need by repeating the steps above but selecting a different number from the In This Calendar drop down. Users have the ability to create up to 20 different calendars for both the Installation and Service calendars.

Step 3: Customize Colors (Optional)

Want to distinguish your Installation Types with different colors? Here's how:

  • Choose Your Color Legend Type

You have two options in the “Install Calendar Legend” tab:

Install Type: Categorize events by Install Type.

Install Division: Categorize events by Install Division.

Remember, you can only select one of these options!

  • Define Colors

For each category within your chosen legend type:

Select: Pick the specific category from the dropdown menu.

Backcolor & Forecolor: Choose colors for the background and text (you'll need to input the color codes manually as the dropdown color selection won't work). Click "Add."

Most dealers go with the very simple setup that comes with the program of green for Confirmed and red for Tentative but you have the power to change this up in whatever way you feel necessary. The color code system only needs to be setup once by an Admin and it will apply to all users who use the calendar scheduling tools.

Step 5: Access Your Installation Calendar

You're all set! Now, open your Implementation Calendar from the Main Tool Menu.
