How do I create and manage calendar entries on an Android device?
You can create and manage calendar entries on your Android device in various ways.
While Offline, the IBM Verse Calendar will reflect the most up to date calendar events from the last time the app synced with the server. While Offline you may still accept, tentatively-accept, or decline any meeting (including Invitations, Reschedules, and Updates) that was not previously accepted, and you can do it from invitation notices in the Inbox, Calendar invitations view, or from ghosted events on the Calendar. You can also decline accepted meetings, process a cancellation notices, as well as create, reschedule, and cancel meetings. All changes to the calendar made offline will sync to the server once a connection has been restored.
