Interface

Several interfaces have been used with the DAViCal server. These include the Mozilla Sunbird calendar (or the Lightning calendar extension of Thunderbird), Chandler, Evolution, and Mulberry.^[2]

Content access

Events are stored on a server which can be accessed through a network, meaning that the calendar can be viewed from any location that has Internet access. In the case of a local user experiencing a hard drive failure, it also means that no data is lost. The application can import iCalendar calendars (.ics, the de facto open calendaring file format). Multiple calendars can be added and shared, allowing various levels of permissions for users. This enables collaboration and sharing of schedules between groups.

Each calendar can have individual permissions, or permissions of groups of users can be created.

Sharing calendars

DAViCal, when combined with an appropriate interface, allows multiple calendars to be created and shown in the same view. Each can be shared, either read-only or with full edit control, and either with specified people or with everyone (public calendars).

Device synchronization

Any device that is able to install one of the client interfaces and has network access can synchronize with the DAViCal server.
