  • [Edit] (Event)
  • [Remove] (Event)
  • Send a [Reminder] to Outlook.

Notes: An event is limited to one Date. Typical events may include a status meeting, the last day of work for the outgoing incumbent, or the scheduled day(s) for interviews. A Closed Requisition will not display the Calendar.
