How to Customize Your Calendar
Calendar is where you can stay on top of all events. It is possible to customize the calendar in your Lion Portal so that you see only the events that are relevant to you.
From any page on the Lakeview website,
www.lakeviewacademy.com, c
lick the orange LOGIN link. If you have forgotten your user name or password, refer to that tutorial in this issue.
The Resources page will open. Click the Calendar button in the light blue navigation bar as shown below.
When your calendar page opens, it is a hot mess. It shows all available events, activities, etc. at Lakeview.
You need to remove all the calendars from view so you can start building your own calendar. To do this, go down the column on the left and click "Hide All" next to each Calendar (see the red arrow in the screenshot below).
After you have checked "Hide All" from all calendars, your calendar should be blank. Starting with each child, click only those items under the child's calendar you wish to add back (assignments, schedules, games/practices, group events, etc.). By clicking into the box next to the item to add back, the color of the box should change from white (blank) to a specific color.
If a calendar item has an arrow next to it, (as shown below with the red arrow pointing to it), that is an indication there are display options for that item.
Click the arrow to see what options are available to display. Click the items to include until there is a blue check box next to the name (as shown below). If your child plays sports, you may wish to add Games/Practices to your calendar.
At this point, you may decide that is all you wish to include. However, you also have the option of including division-specific events to your calendar so that you do not miss any special occasions. To do that, scroll down the calendars in the left-hand column until you come to School Calendars.
Each listing under School Calendars is its own calendar made up of several subsets of events. You can filter those to show only the ones you wish on your calendar.
For instance, if your child is in Middle School, you may want some of the Middle School event categories on your calendar. Check the Middle School box and then click the arrow to the right of it. When the MS event categories appear, uncheck those items you do not want included in your calendar and check those you do.
Once you are finished and satisfied with your calendar settings, click SAVE.
Restore returns the calendar to the last saved version you created.
You can also print calendars or save them to an external calendar using the WebCal Feed feature.
To subscribe to the feeds, click on the feed icon (shown above). When the calendar options appear, right click the link for the desired feed and click the Copy Link Location option. Events for the past 2 months and the upcoming 12 months will be included in the feed. It may take up to an hour for any setting changes to be reflected in your external calendars.
