Click Calendar entries in the Site manager navigation bar to add events to the online calendar. This takes you to a page that displays one month of a calendar. To change the month, use the buttons surrounding the month's name. The "<<" button will take you to the beginning of that year, while the ">>" button will take you to the end. The "<" and ">" buttons move you one month backward or forward, respectively. Click on a date to display the event submission page. Here, there are a number of items for you to complete. Some items, marked with red, are required. Others are not. However, site viewers will click on events to get more information about them, so it's a good idea to include as much information as you can. Return to top Event date
By default, this field will be the date corresponding to the date you clicked in the calendar grid. However, you can change the event date by updating this field with another date. The date format may be numeric (7/23/03) or text (July 23, 2003). If using the text format, you need only enter the first three letters of the month. Return to top Event begins, Event ends
Use these pull-down menus to select the starting and ending times for the event. The site visitors will see this information when they click the event name to display more detail. If the event has no starting or ending time, click the box entitled "Entire day." If the event has a starting time but no predetermined end time, click the box entitled No end time. Return to top Event type
You may want a certain page to display a calendar with only one type of event, or you may want to give site visitors the option to turn off types of events that don't interest them so the calendar is easier to read. For these reasons, you should classify all your events by event type. You will see boxes for any event types that already exist for your site calendar, as well as a field to enter a new event type. One event can be classified as any number of types, so click whatever categories apply, and if you wish to make a new category, type the new event type name into the field. The new category will be created when you save the event and will be included in the event type list when entering additional events. Return to top Public/private
Public events are displayed on the 'live site' calendar. Private events are viewable only by those logged into the administrative tools (Submitters, Editors, and Administrators). You may wish to use this option for scheduling Web team meetings or article submission deadlines. Return to top Event Title
The event title is displayed on the calendar grid or in the list. The title is displayed as a link, so when viewers click on it they can read more information about the event itself. The title can be the actual name of an event, like "Autumn Fest," or it can be a piece of information, such as "Center closed for repairs." Return to top Event Location
This information, like the starting and ending times, will be visible to the site visitors when they click on the event link for more details. Return to top Description
This information will also be included in the event detail when the event link is clicked. This is where you can include event particulars not included in the other fields. It's also an opportunity to explain why people might want to attend or participate in the event. Return to top Approved
This field is used to approve events that have been added by Submitters. An Editor or Administrator must check this option before the event displays on the live calendar. Return to top Delete a calendar event
To delete a calendar event, click the event name in the administrative calendar grid. Click Delete event underneath Update event. Warning: The CMT does not display a confirmation dialog when deleting events. Return to top
