| Update the calendar (Web Site Administrator) |
|
The calendar lists Web Site events. Users can add one-time
(such as birthdays, conferences, parties, and games) and recurring events (such as meetings, practices, and classes).
Web Site Administrators can make this page visible to the
general public or keep it private (visible only to its participants). If the calendar is private, guests must log
in before viewing.
Note: The calendar cannot be deleted. If you don't want it to appear, you can make it inactive.

The calendar can be viewed in two formats. As

events in a large monthly format. You can click an event name to read more about that event and add events to specific
dates.
The desk
calendar splits the screen into a small monthly calendar
on the left and an event list on the right.

the wall calendar view. Shaded days indicate that an event has been scheduled.

the right frame.

at the end of the appropriate row.

the small calendar in the left frame. You can also select the month and year from the drop-down lists beneath the
calendar, then click Go! The events appear in the right frame.

top of the right frame. These links list events for Today, This Week, This Weekend, This Month, All Current, and
Past Events.

Includes all of what the simple form does plus the ability to select an event category, pricing, and contact information.
- Annual:
A once-a-year event such as a birthday or anniversary.
- Multi-day or Daily:
An event that occurs over more than one day: a conference or weekend family reunion, for instance.
- Monthly (pick days):
For instance, a dance that occurs on the 2nd Tuesday of every month, or some frequency of months.
- Monthly (pick dates):
This type of event occurs every month on a specific date of a particular month or frequency of months, such as
payday on the 1st of every month.
