Getting Started with Calendars

Calendar

In Booost, you can view all your calendars (or timetables) in one place in ‘Calendar’. The Calendar view can show you any routines you have, what events you have coming up, and where you have time to focus on tasks or wellbeing.

In the ‘Calendar’ view, you can add events and routines, or connect an external calendar.

Events

Event Types

When you create an event, you can choose an event type which allows Booost to suggest the most relevant checklists and wellbeing materials. You can choose from:

• Academic event types
  • Assessment
  • Groupwork
  • Lessons
  • Practical
  • Presentation
• A social or personal event
• Or something else, where you can add a custom event
