Adding an event to the calendar
REMEMBER: You can only add events to this calendar if you have been given permission to do so. If you have permission, you will see the "Add Event" button at the top of the page.
 
There are three ways to add an event to the calendar:
Click the date to which you want to add an event.
Use the "Add Event" button at the top of the Calendar Page.
Create a document with a date associated with it.
To add an event by clicking the date of the event...
1
Click the date link.
The number of each day on the calendar is a link. Click the number of the day to which you want to add an event. This will take you to the list of events for that day.
2
 Click the "Add Event" button.
This button is at the top of the event list page.
3
Name the event, select a category, and decide whether to put a copy in other groups.
Enter a title for the event in the "Title" field.

Next, select the category for this event. If you wish to create a specific type of event (for example, an Assignment), choose that category. This event will now be categorized as an Assignment and will appear in the Assignments folder. Otherwise, choose Uncategorized Event.

If you are a member of other groups where you have the Super User permission, then you can put a copy of this event in those group calendars as well. Just select them from the "Other Groups" field. For details, see the help for the Create Event Page.
Click the "Create" button when you are finished.

Type a description or upload a document with the description.
Edline has created and saved a blank event with the name you chose in the previous step. An event is really just a document, so for the description you can either type text in directly or upload an existing .html file. For details, see the help for the Modify Document Page.
Click the "Update" button at the bottom of the page when you are finished.
