Managing Calendar Events

In Recite CMS, all calendar events belong to a single calendar. A calendar can have any number of events.

Creating an Event

When viewing a calendar, click the New Event button to create an event. If there are multiple event types available you will need to choose which event type to use. You will then be shown the event creation form.

Calendar events are all date-based. As such, you must select the start and finish date and time for events. If the time is not relevant to your event (that is, you only want to store the date), check the All Day checkbox. This will hide the time input boxes.

Tip

If your event does not have a finish date/time (such as a press release), select the end date to be the same as the start.

Once you have completed this form click the create button. The newly-created event will now appear in the list of events in the calendar viewer.

Clicking on the newly-created event will open it in the Calendar Event Viewer widget.

Viewing an Event

When you click an event in the event listing in the calendar viewer, it will open up in the Calendar Event Viewer widget. This will show you a summary of the event, including data stored with the event and its current status.

Editing an Event

To edit an event, click the Edit Event button when viewing the event. You will then be shown the event edit form. Update any details as required then click the save button.

Deleting an Event

You can delete an event by clicking the Delete Event button when viewing an event. You will prompted to confirm this action. Click Yes, delete the event to proceed.
