Training & Support

Low-cost Training

WiscCal has partnered with DoIT Professional Technical Education (PTE) to offer short, low-cost training to WiscCal users. You can send a group of employees from your department or simply join other individuals from across campus to learn the features of WiscCal. To see a list of upcoming trainings and review the training topics, visit PTE. You can also view a .pdf version of the training packet used in the course. To register, email classes@doit.wisc.edu or call (608) 262-3605.

Free Training for WiscCal Plus Users

Departments making the transition to WiscCal Plus have the ability to identify a few key users who can attend free WiscCal training. These users are generally individuals who will be managing others’ calendars, resources or administering WiscCal for the department. Contact us to arrange for one of these free trainings.

Free Consulting

If you have questions or need assistance in setting up your group's use of WiscCal Plus, the WiscCal staff is always available to meet with you at no additional cost to your group. Contact us to arrange a time to meet.

Attend a Demo

Not sure you’re ready to commit quite yet? Attend a free one-hour demonstration periodically offered by the WiscCal Service Team or view a past demo. Visit PTE for a listing of upcoming demonstrations.

Student Organizations

DoIT’s Software Training for Students program provides training to student organizations to show you the most effective ways to communicate and share information with your group. The training not only covers setting up meetings and keeping track of schedules with WiscCal, but also covers how to create listserves. For more information regarding this class, please contact Software Training for Students at sts@doit.wisc.edu.

Tutorials & Support

If you’re a do-it-yourself kind of person, the following tutorials will help you understand the basic features of WiscCal.

Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) site also contains dozens of self-help documents to walk you through WiscCal, from creating repeating meetings, to customizing the layout and colors of your calendar, to setting up access rights.

In addition, the Help Desk knowledgebase has a range of documents that will help you trouble shoot, particularly as it relates to installing and configuring your clients.

If you have a problem when working with the desktop client software, prior to contacting the Help Desk, we ask that you download the latest version of the client software first.
