  • Click Calendar Back Button to view the previous month.
  • Click Calendar Next Button to view the next month.
  • Click Current Month to view the current month. The Current Month button is only enabled if you are viewing a prior or future month.

❏ Click an entry from the calendar. The request details are displayed. If there are more entries that fit in the calendar day on the page, a + more link is displayed. Click the link to view the additional entries.

The following colors are used to identify the various request types and statuses.
