Introduction
Sites such as exercises and communities may contain a calendar of events. This calendar provides members with two calendar types: My Calendars (i.e., personal calendars for the user) and Site Calendars (i.e., shared calendars for the exercise or community). All members may create events on their personal calendars. Members with specific permissions can create and manage events for site calendars. Members can create events that occur only once or they may create events that are recurring. Additionally, members can invite users to an event, and invitees can identify whether they will attend.
Permissions: Managers and Moderators of an exercise or community can add, edit, and delete events on the site calendars.
Calendar types can be toggled on or off in the display by selecting the calendar name in the My Calendars or Current Site Calendars list.
To view information about an event, select the event and opt to "View Details."
Add Event
When an event is posted to the Site Calendar, all site members can view the event.
To create an event, you may select the drop down arrow beside the targeted calendar and select Add Event (option 1 in image below). This method helps ensure your event is added to the correct calendar. Alternatively, you may add an event by (2) clicking Add Event or (3) clicking a date or time within the calendar itself. Options 1 and 2 lead to the same detailed event form; option 3 leads to a shortened version of this form. The detailed event form is explained below.
Within the event form, provide an event title, adjust dates and times (or select All day), and verify the calendar selection within the Details section. This verification is important.
You can choose to make the event recurring by selecting Repeat and identifying how often the event recurs. You can also include a description and location.
Note: Calendar invitations and notifications are not enabled features at this time.
Click Save when finished creating the event details.
Manage Events
Permissions: Managers and Moderators of an exercise or community can add, edit, and delete events on the site calendars.
To edit an event, click the event from the calendar and select Edit. The detailed event form displays. This form contains the same fields that were available when creating the event.
To delete an event, click the event from the calendar and select Delete.
