How do I add or edit an event?
To get started, select Events from the Modules menu.
On the Events main page, the current month's calendar will be displayed. To add an event, click on the day the event is scheduled. There will be a prompt asking "would you like to create an event starting on month/dd/yyyy", click OK.
Next you will be taken to the Create New Event page. On this page you will need to enter the Title for the Event, the Category for the event, a Short Description for the event, and a Full Description for the event. For example, for the Short Description might say Canned Food Drive and for the Long Description say "Insercorp is hosting its Third Annual Canned Food Drive at XYZ Location on December 3, 2010. Come out and help us reach our goal of 10,000 canned food items!" You also need to enter a Start Time and an End Time for the event in the YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS form. For example: if the event is on October 1, 2010 and begins at 10 you will enter it as 2010-10-01 10:00:00.
If the event is a recurring event, select the box under Recurring Event. A box will be displayed where you can either enter an End date and Frequency (in days) for the event or you can Select a Frequency from the drop down menu. If you select the frequency from the drop down menu you do not need to enter an end date or frequency in days. Note: Once the event has been set to recurring, the events have to be edited or deleted individually. In the last section of the Create New Event page, enter the Location for the event. When you have finished entering the information for the event, click Create Event.

There you can make any necessary changes to the event. When you have finished, click Edit Event at the bottom of the page to save your changes. If you want to delete the event, click Delete.
