Calendar Types
There are four types of calendars on ManageBac+:
-
Dashboard Calendar: Shows all relevant events and deadlines for the individual user, e.g. a DP 2 student taking DP Mathematics and DP Biology will see events and deadlines for DP 2, DP Mathematics and DP Biology.
- This is also where you can add your own Personal Events.
- Year Group: Shows events and deadlines for a year group (e.g. the DP 2 calendar).
- Class: Shows events and deadlines for a class (e.g. DP Biology).
- Group: Shows events and deadlines for a group (e.g. Basketball Team).
Dashboard Calendar
You can access your personal calendar via My Workspace > Daily/Weekly Calendar, which shows all events and deadlines from groups and classes you are in. You may have to configure your dashboard using "Customise Dashboard" to activate or rearrange Daily/Weekly calendar widgets.
Note that if you Add Personal Event to this calendar, it will not be visible to anyone else on your account.
Year Group Calendar
Select a year group and then click on Calendar (might be included in More menu).
All class deadlines for the year group are also included on the calendar, so you can easily see if teachers are assigning major assignments and tasks on the same day or week. This calendar also includes any specific events and deadlines for the year group. Administrators can add an event or deadline by clicking Add to Calendar > Add Deadline or Add Event.
Class Calendar
Select a class and navigate to the Calendar (may be located in More menu). All assignments and tasks for the class will display here. Teachers and Administrators can add an event, deadline, or online lesson by clicking Add New Event, Add New Deadline, or Add New Online Lesson. Tasks cannot be added here, but will display here when added via Tasks & Units, Gradebook or QuickAdd menus for the class.
Group Calendar
Via Groups, you can access a specific group by clicking on it and then click on Calendar. Click Add to Calendar to Add New Event or Add New Deadline.
Group calendar events or deadlines will not appear in Year Groups, but will appear in group members' Daily or Weekly Calendars in the My Workspace page and their personal, full Dashboard Calendar.

Common FAQs
If you receive an authentication prompt when trying to subscribe via Mobile, the authentication prompt could be due to an iOS security measure. In order to bypass it, you need to enter the default Calendar account on the device which might be the Apple ID credentials or any other provider.

As a suggested workaround to add the calendar, we suggest navigating on the iPhone to Settings 
> Calendar > Accounts > Add Account > Other. Tap on Add Subscribed Calendar and enter the direct URL for the calendar.
