Calendars
Create
To create a new calendar, click ➕ in the sidebar, specify the main settings (name, description, colors), and save your changes.

To change the calendar settings, click ⚙️ in the sidebar to the right of the calendar:
Calendar settings:
- "Main":
- Name.
- Description.
- Background and text colors for events ( can be selected from the palette or specified in RGB, HSL, or HEX formats).

- "Access delegation" — see below.

Access delegation
Important points:
- For corporate mail only.
- Mailboxes to which access is granted:
- Must be served by us.
- Can be of any type: hosting account mail or corporate mail.
- Can be associated with any mail domain (except public ones, such as Gmail, etc.).
Delegating access allows you to share your calendar with another mailbox. This calendar will be visible in the calendar list for both the owner and users with delegated access. You can also manage the access level: read-only or read and write.
To delegate access, open calendar settings, switch to the "Delegate access" tab, enter the email address you want to grant access to, and click "Grant access":
If you need to allow changes to be made to the calendar, additionally grant write permission:
Calendars with delegated access are marked with the corresponding icon in the sidebar.
To close access on the "Access delegation" tab, simply delete the addresses from the list. Users with delegated access can also revoke it themselves.
Tasks
Tasks are similar to events, but they involve performing some kind of action and have a status (to do, doing, done, canceled).
All tasks are displayed in the calendar in the "Tasks" view mode:
Tasks that have a start date are also displayed in the calendar view modes by day, week, and month.
Otherwise, task and task list settings are similar to events and calendars.
