CalAgenda

 

Introduction

CalAgenda is the name of the electronic calendar community on the UC Berkeley campus. The software that is used on the client computer is called Oracle Calendar (formerly CorporateTime).

CalAgenda users can download the Oracle Calendar software from the UC Berkeley CalAgenda web site.

CalAgenda administrator roles

The CalAgenda team has a web page describing the Administrator & Technical Support Roles for the CalAgenda community here on the UC Berkeley campus. There are essentially three different roles:

Departmental administrator
A staff person in your department. Departmental administrators contact CalAgenda-Admin@Berkeley.EDU when a new user needs to be added, when someone leaves, when directory information changes, or when an account password needs to be reset. Departmental administrators will also be contacted with questions regarding charges or paperwork for the department's accounts.
Departmental technical contacts
The person or people who install and manage the software on desktop computers, and deal with technical problems. LSCR provides technical support for CalAgenda to our supported departments. This includes helping people install software and with problems using CorporateTime and the service—in short, things not related to account administration.

Adding a new user

If you would like to a have new user created, mail CalAgenda-Admin@Berkeley.EDUwith the following user information:
  • Name
  • Position
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • E-mail address
  • Chart string

When a user needs to be removed, the name and address would generally be adequate. Please note that changing the name of a user may result in the combination of deleting the old account, then creating a new account.

Publishing resource schedules on the Web

Departments can now arrange to have a CorporateTime resource calendar, such as a conference room, published on the Web, so that everyone can view the calendar. (See an example of a Meeting and Resource Calendar.) Meeting information will be updated nightly from the CalAgenda database to the Web. If you have a resource calendar that you would like to be published, send the following information to CalAgenda-Admin@Berkeley.EDU

  • Exact name (as shown in a directory search) of the CalAgenda resource
  • Number of months to display
  • First month to display
  • Contact information

Syncing your smart phone with CalAgenda

Oracle Calendar does not automatically sync well with most smart phones; you can purchase NotifyLink to enable syncing of calendar events to your iPhone or other mobile device.
