Adding items

To create a new item, from within the Calendar tool:

1. While viewing your calendar, click Add.
   
   
2. Enter the required information for title, date, and start time. Additionally, you can specify a duration or end time.
   
   
3. Under "Message", use the WYSIWYG editor to create and format the body of your item. (For more, see The WYSIWYG editor.)

   Note: Pasting text from Microsoft Word directly into the WYSIWYG editor may result in garbled output, even if the text appears correct in the editor. Instead, to insert formatted text from a Word document, click the Paste from Word icon, and paste using Ctrl-v or Command-v. For details, see Pasting from Microsoft Word.

   Some users have reported problems using Paste from Word in Internet Explorer 9; for best results, use a supported browser. See Which browser should I use?

4. To display the event to all members of the site, check Display to site. To display the event only to members of a certain group, check Display to selected groups, and then use the checkboxes to choose which groups or sections can view the item.

   Note: If you don't see the Display to selected groups option, no groups or sections are associated with your site; see Managing groups.

5. If your event will take place more than once, you can set the frequency by clicking Frequency. Then:
   
   
   1. Next to "Event Frequency", use the drop-down list to select daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.
   2. Next to "Every:", use the drop-down list to select a value between 1 and 31.
   3. Under "Ends:", use the radio buttons to select when you want your event to stop recurring.
   4. Click Save Frequency.

   Note: If you do not choose a frequency, your activity will occur once.

6. Next to "Event Type", use the drop-down list to choose an appropriate classification for your event.
   
   
7. Next to "Event Location", type a location for your event into the text box.
   
   
8. Under "Attachments", you can attach a file from your local computer or from Resources, or specify the URL for a file on the web. For instructions, see Options for adding attachments.
   
   
9. To save your event and post it to the calendar, click Save Event. To cancel, click Cancel.

Editing items

1. Find the item on your calendar and click its title.
   
   
2. Click Edit.
   
   
3. In the resulting form, make your desired changes.
   
   
4. When you are finished editing the item, click Save Event.

Deleting items

1. Find the item on your calendar and click its title.
   
   
2. Click Remove event. For recurring events, on the confirmation page, you can choose to Delete all occurrences or Delete only this occurrence. Then, click Remove event to remove the item.
