On the information board, it is possible to display the birthdays of clients and supervisors. For this, we use a linked birthday calendar.
It’s nice to make a separate section for it on the information board, so that birthdays have a special and distinct place.
To make this possible, this action can be performed in 2 steps.
Step 1: Creating a Birthday Calendar
Log in via www.mijneigenplan.nl as a supervisor.
Go to calendars from the online environment.
Create a new calendar:
Now add a name and an image in the next window and click save. Note: do not add a group to a calendar.
The birthday calendar is now part of your account. Open the calendar to add birthdays:
Choose a desired date and click add:
Choose as activity: event.
In the short description, enter the name of the birthday person.
Add a photo of the birthday person.
Don’t forget to set the repeat patterns.
Step 2: Adding the Birthday Calendar to the Information Board.
Within the online environment, go to your information board. Then select “edit board”. You will find this option in the top right of the screen.
You can now add a component by pressing one of the following + buttons.
A window will now appear from which you can choose from different components. Click on the tab: ‘Planning, events & services.’ and choose the component: ‘year overview’
A settings window will open on the right side of the screen. Click on add calendar:
- Then select the birthday calendar.
For the rest of the settings, you can change the name “activities” to “birthday calendar”.
You can choose to display birthdays a few days in advance. The specific period depends on the target group. If displaying birthdays 14 days in advance causes too much stimulation, you can choose to show it, for example, 2 days in advance.
