PICSWeb Calendar
A free course on CRM Functions in PICSWeb is available from our Course Library, including a video covering activity management.
The PICSWeb Calendar displays any assessments, interviews, reviews, or other appointments linked to you and other officers. You can edit appointment details and schedule future appointments here. Selecting Calendar from the side menu will open the calendar page.
Separate calendar pages for individual records can be found as a tab in the relevant record summary. The following record types have their own calendar pages:
Navigating the Calendar
The following options are available at the top of the calendar to navigate:
The < and > buttons can be used to move between days, weeks, or months, depending on the view you have chosen.
Today – Select this to return the calendar view to the current day.
Month/Week/Day – Here you can choose which unit to display on each page of the calendar.
Week List/Month List – Instead of a table view, these displays list all appointments within the current week or month.
Hovering over an appointment in the calendar will show the appointment Name and Time. Selecting the appointment will open the Appointment Preview window explained below.
Filtering the Calendar
The following searching and filtering options are available by default above the calendar. Once you have entered the necessary details, press Enter or select the Search icon to run the search and apply your filters.

Class – This indicates whether the event is a standard appointment or something else.
Type – This is a further level of specification based on the Class above.
Along with these, additional fields can be added by selecting More. Choosing a field will add it to the top bar, where it works like the filters explained above. The following fields are available:
Linked Applicant
Linked Learner
Linked Organisation
Displaying other Officer Calendars
When you first open the calendar, only appointments linked to your officer account will be shown. However, you can use the drop-down menu in the Calendars menu to add other officer accounts. Events linked to them in the calendar will then be colour-coded according to the officer list in the Calendars menu.
Once officers are in the list, the colour-coded buttons can be used to toggle visibility for their appointments. The Calendars menu can be collapsed using the < button.
