Calendar Options
Opens the Calendar Options window.
This is particularly useful if you use Calendar Sync and also sponsor a Foreign-Language Group, as you may need to use a different calendar for each.
You can also hover over the Calendar to use status bar pane to see which calendars are currently being synchronised.
Figure 190. Hover over the Calendar to use status bar pane to see the calendars currently being synchronised.
Customize Lists
Allows you to add, edit, or remove entries from the drop-down lists used throughout the Meeting Editor.
For example, you can add a commonly used student assignment setting as a predefined choice rather than entering it manually each time.
Labels
Allows you to customise the descriptions used for certain assignments.
For example, you might prefer:
- Video Operator instead of Host
- Audio Operator instead of Co-host
Figure 191. The Customize Labels window.
The labels are Foreign-Language Group aware, so different default descriptions can be used for each language.
Use Reset to restore the default labels. The drop-down arrow next to the button allows you to reset a particular group of labels.
Figure 192. The Reset button and its menu provide options for restoring default labels.
Page Breaks
Controls how many weeks are included before a page break is inserted into the printed schedule. The default setting is 2 weeks.
Figure 193. The Page Breaks menu.
You can also change this setting from the status bar.
Figure 194. The Page Breaks setting can also be changed from the status bar.
If your schedule is spilling onto an additional page, see Printing Schedules for information about adjusting the print settings.

Displays a fly-out menu containing the languages supported by Meeting Schedule Assistant.
