Add an event

1. Go to your calendar page and select Add. Alternatively, hover over the event date and select the + button.

   

2. Enter the Title of the event.
3. In the Notes box, enter a brief summary of the event.

4. Optionally, use the Detail section to provide a longer description:

   • Use a pre-existing web page for this item's detail – if you already have a page describing the event (say, an agenda with speaker biographies), choose this option and enter the web address in the URL box. For example:

     https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/architecture/events/conference2019

   • Create the detail for this item now – to enter a longer description now, select this option and type the description in the Detail box.
5. Enter the venue – for example, a room number for events on campus events – in the Location box.
6. Specify the date, and start and end times. For events that span a full day or several days, select All-day event.

7. To set this event to recur from the Start date onwards, choose an option from the Repeats menu: daily; every weekday (Monday to Friday); weekly; monthly; or annually. Also, set the Until date to specify when the recurring event stops.

   Note: by default, repeating events are a linked series – changes to the event apply to all events in the series. If necessary, you can unlink a series to edit individual events – for example, to change the guest speaker name or topic at a monthly research seminar. After you unlink events from a series, it's not possible to re-link them.

8. Optionally, select the appropriate tags to categorise your event.
9. Select Save.
