Add an Event

Once you've created your calendar, you're ready to place events on them.

Tools > Calendars > Calendar

Shows a list of the current events for a calendar on the Calendar Details Page. As you get more and more events, you'll want to start using the filters on this grid to help you manage the events that are displayed.

The event add/edit screen below shows you how to manage the events on the calendar.

  5. Description - A more complete description of the event that will be displayed on the event detail page.
  6. Audiences - This helps to categorize the events by those who would be most interested. These are the same audience choices that are used for the other web content channels.

  8. Additional Calendars - - As we mentioned above, you can place your event on as many calendars as you'd like.
