In LiveWhale Calendar, you can manage events from Toolbox > Your Events

From the events manager, click the Add new button.

To create a title, replace red text with a title for this event. Make sure it is concise and informative.

All events must have images. Click on the space holder for images. Use this widget to select an image.

If there are none appropriate, you can upload an image. All images you upload here will go into a gallery that is unique to your department.

The data in the left column is event specific, and data in right column aids in searching.

At the top of the left column:

Input event Date and time details.

Enter Location and check Plot this event on a map. If the location is already saved, a map will automatically appear. If not, enter the address and a map will appear. Since the general public has access to our events calendar, we recommend that you exclude the location if registration is required.

On the right-hand column, you may adjust your event status to ‘Live’ or ‘Hidden’ by toggling the Green Button to Red. Note: always leave the event as ‘not archived’ or it will not show on the calendar even if it is ‘green’ or Live.

Select your Event type, Location and Audience. Multiple selection is possible.

The tags function is not mandatory. You can use this if you want to use tags as a sort function for your department’s calendar.

Enter your Event description using the Rich Text Editor provided. Use this section to provide a concise summary of your Schulich event and its main purpose. Appeal to the reader by telling them what they’ll get out of attending.

To place a link to other events, information, or unique websites on your event page, use the Related Content tool. Hover over the type of item you wish to link, another event (searches for events in EventBrite), file (pop-up appears to add), or web address (provides link title and URL), and follow the prompts provided.

Enter Contact Information.
You can ignore Register Link. This will be automatically filled in by EventBrite if registration is required.

Select Event Cost. If you are coming from EventBrite, this will be already set. Whatever you select will be shown on the calendar image (see examples below). If you do nothing, the default is set to place nothing on the image.

You can suggest your event to other departments or groups‘ calendars in Sharing and Privacy. Your event will automatically appear on the Main Calendar. Click on Show all Groups. A pop-up will appear; select the groups you want to share your event and click Use selected groups.

Leave Privacy Options as default and click Save and Go To Event.

If your event is canceled, please make sure to update its status in LiveWhale by selecting either the “Cancel” or “Delete” functions outlined below.

Note: “Cancel” and “Delete” are two different functions. By clicking “Cancel”, your event will continue to appear on the Schulich Events Calendar but will have “CANCELLED” appear before its title. By clicking “Delete”, your evennt will be removed from the calendar.
