About This Feature
Overview
Calendar Settings is the settings entry for the calendar in WPS Collaboration on macOS. It helps you adjust calendar views, schedule display options, reminder timing, time zone display, and CalDAV sync access. After setup, the calendar can better match your work habits, make cross-time-zone scheduling easier, and support syncing your WPS calendar to other devices.
Core capabilities include:
- Set view options: choose the start day of the week and switch between simple mode and classic mode.
- Set schedule options: control whether declined events are shown, whether expired items appear dimmed, and define the default calendar and default duration for new events.
- Adjust reminder settings: configure conflict reminders, all-day event reminders, and timed event reminders.
- Manage time zone display: view the current time zone and add a secondary time zone when needed.
- Configure CalDAV: open CalDAV settings to sync the WPS calendar to other devices.
This feature is useful for people who want consistent personal calendar preferences, create meetings often, work across time zones, or use calendars on multiple devices.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a calendar settings entry for adjusting week start day, schedule display, reminder timing, time zone and secondary time zone display, and access to CalDAV sync settings. | Outlook provides calendar time zone settings and supports adding additional time zones for calendar viewing. | Google Calendar provides general settings for time zones, notifications, and view options. | Notion Calendar settings include start week day, time format, time zone behavior, notifications, and calendar view settings. | Adobe Acrobat Sign provides reminder settings for signing workflows, but it does not provide a native personal calendar settings center comparable to calendar preferences. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS brings view, schedule, reminder, time zone, and sync-related settings together in one area for personal collaboration calendar setup. | Compared with WPS: the official page mainly focuses on time zone display and additional time zones, with fewer calendar preference settings shown on that page. | Compared with WPS: it covers time zones, notifications, and view settings, but some work-hours-related options depend on account type. | Compared with WPS: it offers broad settings coverage, but some reminder behavior depends on connected external calendars. | Compared with WPS: it is closer to a document-signing reminder workflow than a personal collaboration calendar settings experience. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want one place to manage calendar view, reminders, time zones, and sync-related options, WPS Calendar Settings fits everyday collaboration use well. Other products offer overlapping capabilities, but their focus differs: Outlook emphasizes time zones, Google Calendar emphasizes general settings, Notion Calendar emphasizes connected calendar management, and Adobe is centered on signing reminders.
Use Cases

| 2 | Optimizing default event values | Users who create meetings frequently | New events require repeated changes to the default calendar or duration | Set the default calendar and default duration in schedule options |
| 3 | Reducing missed reminders | Project members and managers | All-day and timed events do not follow a consistent reminder pattern | Set separate reminder times in reminder settings |
| 4 | Handling cross-time-zone schedules | Cross-region collaborators | Meeting times are easy to misread across regions | Check the current time zone and add a secondary time zone |
| 5 | Syncing calendars across devices | Users who work on multiple devices | Calendar data needs to stay available on other devices | Use CalDAV settings to sync the WPS calendar |
