How to open

To open a new calendar window click Calendar on the main toolbar or click File | New | Calendar. The shortcut to open the Calendar window is Ctrl+Shift+A.

Using the calendar window

When the calendar window is opened for the first time it will create a new default filter and request data based on this filter. The default filter will show all today's macro events from the European Union combined, United States and finally the country defined in the preferences dialog (in the "Regional" page). In addition it will include corporate events from that country. It is possible to change the content in the default filter or save own custom filters.

The calendar window toolbar makes it fast to change the current filter or to change the date range to look at. At the toolbar, from left to right:

•Filter button, click to open the filter panel

•Filter drop-down, select between all stored filters

Filtering

To make it easy to quickly change the calendar view, dynamic filtering has been added. Click the Filter button and the filtering menu will appear below the toolbar.

Filtering on date

A quick select is located on the top of the toolbar, which allows the user to select between several predefined periods. To specify further, use the calendar selection below and select a date range.

Filtering on geographical area

When a "Region" is selected the "Countries economic events" field will be populated with the countries in the specified region.
