The AWARDS Calendar functionality provides users with a comprehensive scheduling system for staff, client, program, and provider appointments and events that is linked with other parts of the application. Within that system users can find a wide variety of viewing and data entry options that will help them meet their individual scheduling needs at any given time.
Required Permissions 
The Calendar is available to all AWARDS users with employee logins (with the exception of those whose access is limited by the "Restrict to Aggregate Data View" permission). Some pieces of the Calendar functionality are limited though to users with the following permissions:
Program chart access (required to view/schedule appointments for a specific program or client)
In addition, the scheduling of some appointment/event types is limited by your data entry/access permissions; for example, in order to schedule staff trainings you must have the Staff Training Data Entry permission, and in order to schedule referral interviews you must have the Referrals Data Entry permission along with access to the Intake/Admissions module. Detailed information on which permissions are required for each appointment/event type can be found in the corresponding section of the Scheduling an Appointment/Event page.
NOTE: Permissions are assigned using the Permissions Maintenance feature. If you do not have access to that feature and need the permission listed here, please contact your supervisor or your local Help Desk for assistance.
