There are two calendars available that can be used as alternatives to the default page for browsing and registering for courses.
- Original Calendar
The original calendar offers a monthly view and a category view. - Modern Calendar
The modern calendar provides multiple views and shows the course list.
The Original Calendar
The original calendar offers a simple month-by-month calendar interface and a category view. There are also linking options to hide or link solely to the Category View.
Monthly View
Traverse the calendar month to month. Course details are retrieved from VETtrak only for the number of months in advanced specified in the Months to Show setting.
- Toggle between the Monthly and Category views using the View Selection.
- Calendar navigation:
- Link to the previous month. This link is not displayed while viewing the current month, since past months are not available for browsing.
- The month being viewed.
- Link to next month.
- An available course.
Clicking a course opens the occurrence details in a pop-up as detailed below.
Occurrence Pop-up
The Occurrence pop-up is opened when a customer clicks a link in the Monthly View and is also displayed once a customer clicks an occurrence from the Category View.
The occurrence details are displayed:
