Basic Navigation
Your Marketspread Calendar can be accessed from your leftside toolbar.
Note: By default they following will automatically be added to your calendar:
- Activated Events

For example, below is a calendar for a Farmers Market, notice their weekly market (an activated event) is automatically showing on their calendar on Saturday 9/20.
If we added some "Activities and Performers" against the event day they will automatically show on your calendar as well. Below is an example where we added two Performers.
If you click on one of the "Activities and Performers" in calendar it will show you the details as shown below.
The default view is a Week View but you can easily switch to any of the other available views at the top right. Below is an example of switching to the Month View.
There is a Day Selector that you can display by clicking on the calendar icon at the top left as shown below.
The Day Selector will slide in from the left when selected. Clicking on any day in the Day Selector will take you to that day in the main calendar.
The Day Selector can also be used to select which other Employees calendars you want to include.
