Can I publish my Sentral Calendar to the Student and Parent Portal?

There are two areas of Sentral Calendars and Student and Parent Portal Setup which are applicable in this scenario.  

 1. Sentral Calendars

There are permission settings per Calendar which can be found by accessing the Calendar and clicking on Preferences (top right) - you will have the following for Edit and View Privileges: 

- Private: Only users set in the access controls of this calendar; 
- Shared: Only Sentral Logged in Users (Staff); 
- Open: Anyone who has the URL for the Calendar (both Staff, Parents and Students). 

 
There are display options for the Teacher Dashboard and the Student Dashboard. The Staff Dashboard option is the Calendar displayed if using the Calendar Dashboard Widget for display. The Student Dashboard feature is not related to the Portal, so can be disregarded. So long as Staff Calendars are set to only allow access for either Private or Shared access pertaining to BOTH Edit and View, then only Staff will be able to modify/view entries on that calendar.

 2. Student and Parent Portal

For Parents and/or Student users to access a calendar, the following needs to be setup: 

a) You need to ensure that the Calendar has View Privileges set to Open: Anyone 
        To set, open up Calendar in Webcal > click on Preferences (top right) > View Privileges: select 'Open: Anyone' > Save at the bottom
b) Copy the URL of the Calendar to your clipboard - sample: Global Calendar: <<calendar URL>>


Go to Portal Console Setup > School Applications 
Add New application > Add name, Module and URL link to the calendar and decide if this application is visible to parent and or students. 
Go to Portal Calendar and select the portal calendar that will be displayed for portal users
