Mamut Online Desktop provides you with an online overview of activities concerning your company and employees. Create, edit and view activities online and keep track of these via the online calendar or activity list.
The online calendar is an integrated part of the activity functionality. The calendar can be displayed as a personal calendar (My Calendar), only containing your activities, or as a Common Calendar, displaying the activities for your employees or resources. The personal calendar can be accessed by clicking Lists - My Calendar. Click the Common Calendar button in the toolbar in order to navigate to the common calendar.
Activities in the Calendar
It is possible to display all activities created within the system in either your personal calendar, or the common calendar. You can also create new activities directly from the calendar view by clicking New. Read more about creating new activities here.
You can choose whether an activity is displayed in the actual calendar or in the task list to the left of the personal calendar. This is controlled by the different activity types. Activity types Registered, Demonstration and Meeting are displayed in the calendar, whereas activities such as Letter, Fax and Tel. out are displayed in the task list. You can override this default setting by selecting the check box Show activity in the task list in the Misc. tab. Alternatively; you can remove any activity from the task list by deselecting the check box Show activity in the task list.
You can at any time switch between the two different calendars by clicking Common Calendar or My Calendar in the toolbar.
My Calendar
The personal calendar displays all calendar activities in which the person logged on is either defined as Responsible or Employee. The task list to the left of the actual calendar displays activities in which the person logged on is defined as Responsible.
You can change which period is displayed by clicking Day, Week (working week or full week) or Month. The task list is not affected by what period is selected. From the toolbar you can also choose to view Open Tasks, Closed Tasks or All Tasks in the task list.
From the toolbar you can also open the activity list, today's calendar, the common calendar and the user settings for activities and calendar.
Tip! You can create an activity directly
from the calendar by placing the mouse cursor on the date and time of
your choosing and clicking once. Read

The Common Calendar
The common calendar lets you view the schedule of several employees/resources at the same time. In the toolbar you can choose to display in the calendar in three different views:
Common: Use this view to display the
calendars of employees or resources linked to a certain project or department.
If you select (None) from the
drop-down lists, the calendar will display all activities registered in
the system.
Single: Use this view to display the
calendar of a single employee or resource.
User Defined:
Click the User Defined button
and use the arrows to include or exclude employees or resources from the
user-defined common calendar.
Zoom: Select which level of detail
should be displayed in the common calendar: 100% (one day) or 50% (one
work week).
Tip! You can define a default mode
for the calendars in the user settings. Go to Settings
- User settings -
Activity and Calendar and define your settings in the Personal
or Common Calendar field in the
screen that opens. Read more about
