Default Calendars for New Entries

DayBack allows each user to select which calendar to use for new events. This setting can be adjusted by clicking the gear icon next to each calendar in DayBack's left-hand sidebar.

  • The "for me" option lets individual users set their preferred default calendar for new events, as long as an admin has not set a default calendar "for everyone".
  • Only admins can see and set the "for everyone" option. If a calendar is set as the default "for everyone," all users will use that calendar by default for new events.
  • If no calendar is set as the default "for everyone," each user can choose their own default calendar for new events.

How can I create events for a specific source?

When you have multiple sources visible in the calendar, DayBack follows these rules to determine which source will be used for creating a new event:

1. Single Source Visible:

  • If only one source is visible (turned on in the Sources tab), DayBack creates the event in that source, provided it is not read-only.

2. Multiple Sources Visible:

  • If the default source is among the visible sources, DayBack uses the default source.
  • If the default source is not among the visible sources, DayBack uses the first visible source that is not read-only.
  • Additionally, you can add a custom action to DayBack that allows users to choose the calendar when creating a new event. By shift-clicking the plus button, users can select the desired calendar.
