    Calendar Introduction

    The calendar provides a quick and easy way for you to advertise, publicize, and promote, events on your website. The tool itself includes basic and advanced settings with options to setup both one-time and recurring events.  You can also share your calendar info via third-party sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc). Your visitors will have a variety of calendar viewing options, from a detailed list of events for a particular day to viewing a month at a glance, as well as an event detail page with all the pertinent information pertaining to an event.

     

    Calendar Overview 

    If your site has the calendar option the master calendar has already been created for you with five different viewing options:
    MONTH - default view. Shows an entire month at a glance. Events are displayed on the day with no detail information. Can move forward/backward month at a time or call up a specific month with the drop down window.
    AGENDA - shows events in a linear column with options for All, today, next 7 days, next 30 days and for the next year.
    DAY - shows what events are scheduled for that day only. 
    WEEK - shows the Sunday - Saturday week's events with time detail from 6:00am - 11:00pm
    EVENT - clicking an event on the calendar displays all details for that event including specific location, time, and any notes or comments about the event. 

    From Edit Site > Edit Pages > Master Group (the name of your organization) you will see each view has a page of it's own for a total of five pages created.
    NOTE: Each of these pages has an soTag that makes the calendar visible on the site, so please don't delete those soTags.

    Your calendar is ready for you to add events.

    Creating a new event

    To create a calendar event, go to Calendar > Calendar Events. Then, select the group where your event is applicable. If it is a site-wide event, click on the master group (organization name). If the event is specific to a section or group within your organization, select the group name where the event applies. Read more about creating events. 

    The next screen will display a list of upcoming and prior events for that group. At the top of the page you will see some calendar setting options. (Please note: if you would like to make changes to the overall site-wide calendar settings, make sure to edit these settings in the master group).
