Getting Started
TAFE SA's web email service ("Connect") is delivered through Microsoft’s ‘Live@edu’ platform. It gives students and staff browser-based access to multiple online communications, anytime, anywhere over the internet, including calendar, creation and collaboration of Microsoft Office documents online, photo publishing and messaging.

- CALENDAR
- How do I create a new appointment?
While on the calendar screen you click "New Appointment" You will then be presented with options to complete such as subject, location, start date and time, end date and time. You can also select if this is an all day event and whether you wish to mark the appointment as busy, free, tentative, or away and whether the appointment is private which effectively blocks the details of the appointment from the view of other viewers of your calendar. Under this tab options are also available to set the appointment up as a recurrent event and to invite attendees.

When creating a new appointment, click on the "Repeat..." icon (third icon in from the left) and fill out the form as required.
