Calendar Schedule

Version 14.19

This window map article points out some of the important aspects of the window you're working with in OP but is not intended to be instructional. To learn about topics related to using this window, see the Related Articles section at the bottom of this page.

Our new Multi-Location Calendar updates are here! Please see the OP 21.3 release notes for an overview and a list of the known minor issues, which our development teams are actively working to resolve. We plan to release these fixes soon! 
In the interim, practices can 
  • Configure OP to switch to the new calendar and explore its features, or 
  • Take no action and continue using the current one until the fixes are released.
