# Calendar page

A full page (standalone app: a space page and a global page both titled "Capable Calendar"; in the Suite: one entry titled "Calendar" inside the shared "Capable" page, subtitled "View dates from pages in a calendar"). It holds the catalogue of saved calendars, the per-calendar view with the full toolbar and view switcher, My Calendar, .ics import, export, and the Subscribe panel.

## Where you do it

![Calendar configuration dialog on the General tab, with fields for calendar name, description, default view and base timezone, and tabs for Events, Pages, Appearance and Tags.](https://help.gocapable.com/images/733b8229-8076-402f-b930-ac5663517abc.webp)

Every saved calendar carries its own name, default view and base timezone, all set from this dialog.

![](https://help.gocapable.com/images/3807a75e-3d5f-4853-8511-ccc8e4c4b099.webp)

The create dialog opens on General, where a calendar gets its name, its default view and the timezone its events are co-ordinated by.

Space calendars, global calendars and the two built-in calendars sit in the list on the left, and the one you pick is drawn beside it.

## Worth knowing

* The survey called the "By Page" colour mode unreachable. That is wrong: it is not selectable on the Calendar macro, but it IS selectable on a saved calendar's Color Scheme.

---

## Limits that apply here

* My Calendar sources
* Subscriptions per calendar per user
* Static site calendar export
