Events

An event is anything that can be scheduled. Events can be holidays, executive board meetings, movie releases, a racquetball game, and so forth. , You can schedule events on your own calendars, inherit events through a subscription to another calendar or search for published events, or add events from published calendars to your own calendar.

How To Create Events

Helpdot Go to a calendar where you have the right permissions. The easiest way to do this is to click on the button: Home Calendar
Helpdot Click on the button: Create Event If you don't see such a button, then you don't have permissions to add events to the calendar you're viewing.
Helpdot On the resulting page, fill in as much information as you see fit. All you have to enter is a title for the event, but you can give location information, which can give you maps and driving directions on how to get there.
Helpdot You may want to make your event repeat over and over again. Select the frequency you want it repeat at, and the page will refresh itself with more options about how you want it to repeat.
Helpdot You can optionally enter active links for your event, links that lead to an official site, registration information, and so forth.
Helpdot You can optionally give certain people access rights to your event.
Helpdot Click on the button: Save
