Hi,
I am a teacher and I have about 14 classes on my dashboard. The problem is, I can't seem to access all my classes on the Calendar page. I think the limit is set to 10 calendars by default?
I want to set events and reminders for the other classes as well (except Course 7C - that's a sample)
I have attached an image that shows that I can access only 10 of my calendars and the rest are grayed out.
Any idea how to access them?
Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi @farnekf and welcome to the Community! Just to double check, have you attempted to click on the little box by the calendars that are grayed out? Calendars on my list are grayed out but I can click on them to make them appear. It sounds like you may have read this document, How do I use the Calendar as an instructor?, but while it indicates that the first 10 calendars are normally active by default and can be deselected, it doesn't specifically spell out that calendars that are inactive by default can normally be selected to activate them.
If this doesn't work, please let us know!

Awesome! It worked. Thank you so much.
I had been clicking on the three dots instead and that just showed on choosing the colors.
Glad that worked @farnekf and thanks for the update!

I work in a British International school and we have upwards of 20 courses for certain year groups. We use the calendars to post students' homework.
Through our CSM we were able to extend this to 15 so it might be useful getting in touch with yours.
That said, now that students are able to alter the Dashboard to List setting (and show their calendar) then we don't worry to much about this limitation.
