Once you are all set up in New Calendars module, you'll need to learn how to manage some common tasks on a day-to-day basis. This article will go over some of the most common tasks to help you manage your calendars and events.

  • Folder settings
  • Calendar settings

Once your calendars are created and events showing up in your calendar panel, manage your events in an ongoing way as the school year continues on. Here are some management tasks to help you out!

Manage event details

Standard Calendar Event details: Click on the event in the calendar panel of the Calendars module dashboard to open the Edit Event window. Change any of the details before clicking Update and saving your changes. Changes will be displayed anywhere you have connected this calendar in a Composer Calendar element.

Live Event details: Edit event details for Live calendars at the original source. Any edits will be synced to your Calendars module and displayed calendars in Composer.

Exception Event Details: Click on the event in the calendar panel of the Calendars module dashboard to open the Edit Event window. Change any of the details before clicking Update and saving your changes. Changes will be displayed anywhere you have connected this calendar in a Composer Calendar element.

Delete events

Delete Standard Calendar Events: Click on an event. In the top right corner is a trash can where you can easily delete the event.

A window will pop up asking “Are you sure” and allowing you one last chance to consider your action. The event will automatically be removed from Calendars module and also from any Calendar Element.

Delete Live Calendar Events: As with managing and creating events, any events needing to be deleted need to happen in the original source. 

Delete Exception Calendar Events: Click on an event. In the top right corner is a trash can where you can easily delete the event.

Configure and adjust settings

There are two types of settings you can adjust as the school year goes on: Folder settings and Calendar settings. 

• Folder settings apply to all calendars within that particular folder.
• Calendar settings are more granular and only pertaining to that individual calendar.

Folder settings

To open Folder settings, hover over a Folder name until the 3-dot More menu appears. Click to open and configure the following settings:

• Add Calendar: Add a new calendar directly into this folder.
• Settings: Adjust Folder settings.
  • Folder settings > General tab: Change the Folder name or Set the Location.
  • Folder settings > Permissions tab: Set Folder level permissions. Learn more in the article, "New Calendars module permissions" by clicking on the Folder Tab. 
    

         

    

• Delete Folder: Removes this folder and all its contents from the New Calendars dashboard.

Calendar settings

Before you can configure your Calendar settings, determine if the calendar whose settings you want to adjust is a Standard Calendar, Live Calendar, or Exception Calendar.

Move and reorganize calendars in folders

Move calendars around in your folder system as you get settled. To move a calendar into a new folder, open the 3-dot More menu for that calendar to open up the Calendar settings. 

In the Calendar settings window, click into the Folder dropdown and select a different folder where this calendar will live. Click Save and the Calendar will now be moved into the newly-selected folder.

Adjust permissions

Permissions for the Calendars module may need to be adjusted as the year goes on and staff transitions take place. Permissions can be set on three different levels, allowing for very specific access to be granted according to the roles and responsibilities of your admin users. These three levels are: Global, Calendar Folder, and Individual Calendar. Read more about how these work in the article, “Calendars module permissions”.
