My Calendar
All events relevant to a specific user profile are added to a consolidated personal calendar, My Calendar, available on COMET Football Mobile Apps and the MyCOMET platform.
My Calendar includes unavailability periods, all matches of a specific player or match official, all matches and trainings of a particular club or team (if the user has a Club Role), and all events (courses and trainings) where the user is a participant.
Furthermore, CRD (Competition, Referee, and Disciplinary) Administrators will view all competitions within their organization, and Managers will see all competition matches to which they have been explicitly assigned.
Trainings are a COMET PLAY feature, meaning that all following mentions of trainings are relevant only for COMET Tenants where the COMET PLAY module is enabled.
To access the calendar and manage the displayed information:
On the left navigation bar, hit the 🗓️ My Calendar menu
On the left side of the Calendar header, navigate through months/weeks/days/years by using the arrow buttons
Hit the calendar icon button on the left side of the Calendar header to redirect the view to the current month/week/day
You can choose between month/week/day/year view on the right side of the Calendar header
You can also integrate the events from the Calendar with your personal calendar app, such as Outlook or Google Calendar
A click on any event will redirect you to the detailed view of the Event (Match, Course, or Unavailability). A click on an event that requires your response (e.g., Training) will open a pop-up with the option to respond.
The following illustration showcases an example of a user's calendar. Since this user has child accounts, enabling Family View adds all events of the Child profiles to the calendar.
Four types of events are represented:
Matches,
Events/Courses,
Trainings,
Unavailabilities.
The family view can be disabled by clicking the same button that enables it, located next to the leftmost child account image.
Matches
All matches relevant to a specific user profile are included in the user's calendar, as well as all matches officiated by an exact match official and all matches involving a particular club or team (if the user has a Club Role).
If the user is a Club user, only club matches will be fetched.
If the user is a CRD (competition, discipline, or referee) Administrator, all of the matches of the user's organization will be fetched.
If the user has a person attached to their user profile and is:
a Match official (e.g., referee) → all matches where that person is appointed will be fetched,
a CRD (competition, discipline, or referee) Manager → competition matches for the competition where the user is appointed will be fetched.
Please consider that the colors of the calendar's objects convey specific meanings, such as the color of match events, which correspond to their respective parent competitions.
Hovering your mouse over a match event in the calendar will display additional details for that specific event.
Courses
My Calendar includes all events (courses) where the user is a participant.
The color by which the event is presented in the calendar is predefined by the Event Manager/Administrator during the Course creation.
Considering the application status for the course, every event where the user is a participant is visible in the calendar.
For example, as shown in the following image, this user has confirmed attendance at one event and applied for another, both of which are displayed on their personal calendar.
Trainings
Trainings are structured events that enable Club Managers (also known as Club Referents) and Club Lineup Managers (collectively referred to as Club Roles) to organize, schedule, and manage training sessions as well as player participation.
Here, club users and players involved can view training sessions and other scheduled activities for all teams they are involved in. The events in the calendar can be color-coded for better visibility of different event types (defined in event settings).
Players can also provide their response to the event from My Calendar. For more information, please refer to Trainings | Calendar-View-for-Trainings.
Unavailabilities
This menu is available only for Match Officials (referees, officials, observers) and authorized users who can add unavailability intervals on behalf of officials (Superusers, Referee Admins, etc). Please note that all referee-related actions can also be managed from the COMET Football iOS and Android Apps.
The colors of the objects in the calendar have a meaning (reg. unavailabilities):
If you have indicated that you are unavailable all day, it will be colored red 🔴,
If you have indicated that you are unavailable at a specific time on a particular day, it will be colored yellow 🟡
Therefore, yellow is used for time-defined events, and red is used for all-day events.
For more information on how to set Unavailabilities, check the following link: Setting Unavailabilities.
Sync Calendar
COMET Users can have their COMET Calendars synced with their external calendar apps like Google Calendars or Microsoft Outlook.
To sync the calendar:
Open 🗓️ Calendar menu
Hit the circular arrows icon button on the right side of the Calendar header.
This will open the Integrate Calendar pop-up window
Hit the copy icon button to copy the Secret address in iCal format
Open your external calendar and use this address to add it as an additional calendar. This depends on the settings of your app, but it might be found in "Settings" or "Preferences."
