Viewing the Event Calendar on eWeb
The Event Calendar on eWeb is a convenient way to view events (past and present) in a calendar format. From the calendar you can filter the results displayed on the calendar as well as register for an event.
Accessing the Events Calendar
To access the Events Calendar, complete the following steps:
- Launch your eWeb site.
- Hover over the Events heading located on your eWeb site.
This will expand the Events drop-down menu.
- Click the Events Calendar hyperlink.
The Events Calendar is displayed.
Viewing Events on the Event Calendar
Once the Event Calendar is open, all scheduled events that were set to be available online will be displayed in a calendar view.
Clicking the scroll arrows to the left or right of the month or year will toggle the calendar back or forward one month at a time. Each month will show the listing of available events.
Filtering Events on the Events Calendar
Two filters are available on the Events Calendar to allow you to minimize the number of events you see and only see the ones that are of interest to you. These filters are the Category and Event Type. Both of these classifications are available as fields when a new event is created. Classifying an event in a category or as a certain type of event will allow you to filter your results.
To filter events on the Events Calendar, complete the following steps:
- Open the Events Calendar.
- Expanding the Filter By Events Type drop-down menu and selecting an event type will filter the events displayed on the Events Calendar and only show events of the type you selected.
- Expanding the Filter By Category drop-down menu and selecting an event category will filter the events displayed on the Events Calendar and only show events of the category you selected.
Once you make your selection, the Events Calendar will update and only show the events matching your criteria.
In the example above, the Filter By Events Type drop-down menu has been set to Conference and the Events Calendar has filtered out all of the events that are not conference type events. Thus, only conference events are displayed.
Viewing the Event Information from the Event Calendar
Clicking the linked name of the event on the Event Calendar will take you to the Event Info page for that event.
From the Event Info page you can:
- Register an individual for the event.
- Register a group for the event.
- Click on the linked session name to get more information about the session.
- Click on the linked track name to get more information about the track.
