Creating Events

You can create an event such as a project meeting in your Calendar. Events can occur once, or they can occur in intervals of days, weeks, or months.

To create an event:

In the Calendar application view or portlet, click New Event.
The Event Editor appears.
Only available when creating an event from the Calendar portlet. From the Project drop-down list, choose the project for which you are creating the event.
In the Name box, type no more than 100 characters to name the event.
As an optional step, in the Description box, type no more than 1,000 characters to describe the event.
In the Start Date box, if you want to change the start date, perform one of the following:

If the event is a one-day affair, leave the end date the same as the start date.
If the event continues over a span of time (for example, a three-day conference), either type the end date in m/d/yyyy format or use the date chooser to select the date.

Once. Select Include weekends and holidays if desired.
Daily.
Weekly. Type a number between 1 and 99 in the text box to specify how many weeks between each occurrence of the event (the default is 1). For example, type 2 to create a biweekly event.
Monthly. Choose one of the following:

Day X of every Ymonth(s): In the first box, type a number between 1 and 31 to specify the day of the month. For example: Day 3 of every 2 months.
The X Y of every Zmonth(s): In the first drop-down list, select the number of the week in the month, or the last week in the month. In the second drop-down list, select the day of the week. In the text box, type a number between 1 and 99 to specify how many months between each occurrence of the event (the default is 1). For example: The Second Tuesday of every 3 month(s).

As an optional step, if you want the recurrence to end, select End by and perform one of the following:

As an optional step, in the Location box, type the location where the event will occur.
As an optional step, if you do not want the event to inherit the security settings of the project, you can customize this event's security by performing the procedure described in the Security topic.
