Features
Calendar features a similar interface to desktop calendar applications such as Windows Calendar. Similar to Hotmail and Outlook.com, the interface is driven by AJAX-technology which enables users to view, add and drag-and-drop calendar events from one date to another without reloading the page. It features daily, weekly, monthly and agenda view modes. It also features a to-do list function for users to keep track of their tasks to be completed.
Calendar events are stored online and can be viewed from any location. Multiple calendars can be created and shared, allowing different levels of permissions for each user. Users are able to share their Calendar via three different methods:
- Private sharing - other users may sign-in with their Microsoft account and view, edit and/or delete calendar entries based on the invitation by the owner
- View-only link - other users may receive a view-only link to the calendar being shared, and be able to subscribe to the calendar via RSS or Webcal
- Public sharing - other users may search and view the calendar on the web
- Reminders - users can set up to 6 reminders per event and can have them sent to Messenger, their phone or an email address. They can also set default reminders for each calendar. On shared calendars, users can choose to get notified when another user edits an event.
Windows Live Mail features a Calendar mode that allows automatic syncing with Calendar when signed in with a Microsoft account. As part of the "Wave 4" release, Calendar supports the Exchange ActiveSync protocol, and full-session SSL support was added.

Famous quotes containing the word features:
“Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
““It looks as if
Some pallid thing had squashed its features flat
And its eyes shut with overeagerness
To see what people found so interesting
In one another, and had gone to sleep
Of its own stupid lack of understanding,
Or broken its white neck of mushroom stuff
Short off, and died against the windowpane.””
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“However much we may differ in the choice of the measures which should guide the administration of the government, there can be but little doubt in the minds of those who are really friendly to the republican features of our system that one of its most important securities consists in the separation of the legislative and executive powers at the same time that each is acknowledged to be supreme, in the will of the people constitutionally expressed.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
