Creating calendar events is quite a simple process, yet also feature rich. You can create a new calendar entry by selecting the "Create Event" button as shown in the image below
Once selected, you will be shown the Event creation screen, which I will explain in stages.
At the top of the page, you first need to add in the date, or date range for the event. You will notice below that there is only a single date on the left. This is because "Single day event" is selected. If you unselect this you would get 2 dates. Similarly, if you select the "This is an all day event" checkbox, the times will be removed.
Tip
You may also notice in the bottom right, you can select a timezone. This is handy if you have an event going on in another part of the world, and you are not currently in that location. You can change this so it shows correctly to the correct people.
You will see you can select "This event repeats" in the checkbox above. This will show you options to repeat an event. As you can see in the image below, this can be quite powerful and you can create these in many different ways.
Next you will fill in the basic details of the event such as its name, any tags required, and a description of the item being entered. Additionally you can add a cover photo, which will show on the event itself if you wish.
Finally at the bottom of the page, you can optionally add the location of the event and an album which shows images of the event. When adding the location it will show a handy map of the location in which the event is located.
You can also allow people to RSVP the event to say whether or not they are attending.
Below is an example of the map showing on a new test event.
