View your Events Calendar

Compliance Program Coordinators need to continually track scheduled events to ensure they are completed on time. To facilitate event tracking, the Compliance Events Calendar presents all events and their status by week, month, or year.

You can use the Compliance Program Coordinator / View My Events Calendar to view events that are assigned to you; that is, you are entered as the Responsible Person for the event, the event's location, requirement, or contract term.

About Highlighting Events by Status

If you are maintaining Event Status, you can review any missed/overdue (red) events when highlighting by status, or critical (red) events when highlighting by priority.

The calendar shows events with the following statuses, color-coded to distinguish them:

Status Description
Scheduled The event's Date Start is in the future
Canceled The event has been cancelled
In Progress The event has begun, but is not yet completed
On-Hold The event has been placed on hold
Stopped The event began but was stopped before completion
Completed The event was completed or completed and verified.
Closed The event has been closed
Other Any event that does not fit into any of the above defined categories.
Missed/Overdue

Missed events are those where the Date Scheduled End has passed and the Event Status is Scheduled, In Progress, Stopped, or On Hold. These events have not been completed on time. Overdue events are those where the Date Scheduled Start has passed and the event status is Scheduled, On Hold, or Stopped. These events have not started on time.

Missed event color overrides overdue color; that is, if an event qualifies for both statuses, it is shown as missed, not as overdue.

Using the Filter Console

You can filter the Events Calendar using a variety of filter criteria. For example, you can filter by regulation, regulation rank, compliance program code, compliance level code, requirement category, or requirement type.

Note the following when using the Filter console to set a restriction:

Using the Events Calendar

To use the events calendar:

  1. Select the calendar events task.

    By default, the Compliance Events Calendar shows events for the current month by Event Status.

  2. To change the highlighting used, from the Color By list in the upper right corner, select:

    Requirement Priority to view events by their priority to your organization.

    Requirement Type to view events by their type. Requirement Type is an enumerated list that describes classifications of requirements, such as Abatement, Reporting, Sampling, License or Permit.

  3. To change the calendar view, use the controls at the top of the calendar to:

    View events by the day, week (Sunday through Saturday), workweek (Monday through Friday), or the month.

  4. Use the prev or next buttons to navigate to the previous or next day, week, workweek, or month (depending on your selection.)
  5. To review events for a year, select the Year View tab, and then select the year from the Year list.

Editing Events

From the Events Calendar, you can edit events.

To edit an event.

  1. From the Show My Compliance Events calendar task, click on an event in the calendar.

    The Edit Compliance Event form appears.

  2. Edit the following information as needed:

    Event TitleEnter a name for the event that clearly identifies it.
    Do Not Reschedule?

    When you enter an event, you use this flag to indicate whether the event can be removed and re-created if you regenerate events for the event's requirement.

    By default, this is set to Yes when creating an event manually, and is set to No when an event is generated automatically using the Save and Generate Events command. Set this flag to Yes if there is a specific event in a recurring set that should not be removed if events are re-generated.

    You can search for events by the Do Not Reschedule field. This enables you to find events that are not part of the recurring set for a given requirement. For example, for a requirement with a recurring Monday 9 AM meeting, you could search for all the future instances when the meeting was changed to another time, in case someone can only make Monday morning meetings.

    Event StatusSelect the current status for the event. Keeping Event Status current is critical, if you are using the notification templates feature and are generating reports that depend on event status, such as the Missed and Overdue Events, and Missed and Overdue Events Count reports.
    Responsible PersonSelect the employee (such as the Compliance Program Coordinator) responsible for this event. When the Compliance Program Coordinator logs in to their tasks, they see only the requirements and events for which they are entered as the Responsible Person. When managing events, the Compliance Program Manager can search by the Responsible Person to locate events assigned to that employee. The Compliance Program Manager can also generate reports to show requirements or events for a selected Responsible Person.
    Vendor CodeSelect the vendor you use for this event.
    Date Scheduled Start/Date Scheduled EndSelect the dates the event is scheduled to begin and end.
    Date Completion RequiredSelect the date by which the event must be completed in order to be in compliance. For an event for permit renewal, this date would be the date the permit expires and renewal is required.
    Date Started/Date CompletedSelect the date the event actually started and the date it actually ended.
    Date VerifiedSelect the date completion of the event was verified.
    Date ClosedSelect the date the event was closed.
    DescriptionEnter a description for this event.
    Regulation/Compliance Program Code/Requirement CodeWhen updating events, the regulation, compliance program, and requirement will already be selected. Every event is associated with a regulation, compliance program, and requirement.
    Regulatory ContactSelect your contact at the regulatory agency for this event's requirement.
    Create Notifications?

    Selecting Yes creates notifications for this event, if any are associated with the event's compliance program or requirement.

    Selecting No means no notifications are created for the event, even if the event's program or requirement have notification templates added for them.
