Calendar Formats
The configuration of your application determines the availability of certain features. Therefore, the calendar formats you see can differ from the calendar formats described in this topic. Calendar format buttons appear in the Calendar screen. The following table describes the calendar format buttons.

If the current date appears in the calendar format, then that date is automatically selected and highlighted when you access a calendar. If you click a time slot in the calendar, then that time slot is also highlighted.
You can navigate to a date from a calendar format in the following way:
Click the navigation buttons on either side of the calendar title to navigate to the previous calendar interval or to the next calendar interval as required.
The calendar title determines the calendar interval to which you navigate. For example, if the calendar title is August 6 - 12, 2012, then the calendar is in the weekly calendar format.
Click the Today link to navigate to the current date when the current date does not appear in the displayed calendar format.
Click the calendar select button to navigate to a date. This date does not have to appear in the displayed calendar format.
When you click the calendar select button, you access the calendar control. Unlike the calendar control for fields, the calendar control for the Calendar screen does not include an OK button and a Now button that you can click to select a date. In the calendar control for the Calendar screen, you click a date to select the date. For more information about the calendar control, see Calendar Control.
In the monthly calendar format, click a date in the calendar.
