When creating a scheduling application, you can provide it with a set of Ribbon tabbed pages to let your end-users perform basic operations (navigate through dates, change active view, create, edit and delete appointments, select a type for grouping scheduler data, etc.) via the Ribbon user interface. Ribbon pages are structurally and visually split into logical groups. Each of these groups include commands that have the same feature in common. To get an example on how to provide a Ribbon UI for the scheduler, refer to the Getting Started document.

This topic lists available Ribbon groups combined into tabbed pages and includes links to documents containing working examples and detailed information on the scheduler’s functionality provided by a particular Ribbon group.
