Difference Between Upcoming Events & Calendar Events

As an Admin or HR user, you may find some events appear on the Calendar, but not in your 'Upcoming events'. For example, you may see Mandatory Holidays relating to other Sites in your Calendar but not in your Upcoming events. This is because Upcoming events only displays events that apply to you as a User. The Calendar on the other hand displays ALL events, regardless of whether they apply specifically to you or not.

For example, an employee is based at London, UK site and therefore has the UK Bank Holidays displayed on her upcoming events as they apply:

However when viewing the calendar, the employee can also see the Bank Holiday of "Orthodox Easter" on the same date. This Bank Holiday is not relevant to this employee as an Employee but does apply to the Paris, France site.
