Calendar events are the entries you create yourself. They belong to the calendar rather than to another area, which is why they are the only entries you can edit and delete from this page.
Two ways to start
- Click Add Event in the row above the grid.
- Drag across a span of the grid — a range of hours in Day or Week view, or a range of days in Month view. The Add Event window opens with the dates already filled in from what you selected; a selection of whole days, in Month view or the day strip, also ticks All day.
Both need the Calendar → Edit Events permission. Without it the button is hidden and dragging on the grid does nothing.
Filling in the event
The Add Event window has these fields:
- Title — required. This is what the grid shows.
- Color — the swatch beside the title opens a Choose a color panel with sixteen colours. The colour applies to the event card on the grid and to the icon in its details window.
- Description — optional free text.
- All day — tick this to make the event span whole days instead of a time range.
- Start Date and End Date — both required. With All day ticked they are plain dates; with it unticked they include a time as well.
You can also attach files before saving — see the article on attachments.
Press Add to create the event, or Cancel to discard it.
The end must not fall before the start. The form refuses to submit with "End date can't be before start date", and the server enforces the same rule independently, so an event with a reversed range can never be stored.
Editing an event
Click the event on the grid to open its details window, which shows the Date and Files rows and the description. Press Edit there and the same fields appear, already filled in, with Save and Cancel buttons. If you try to leave with unsaved changes the app offers to save them first.
Editing needs the Calendar → Edit Events permission; without it the Edit button does not appear and the details window is read-only. Cancel simply closes the window without changing anything.
Deleting an event
Open the event and click the red bin button at the bottom left of its details window. The window asks Sure to delete? — confirm with Delete or back out with Discard.
Deleting is permanent, and any files attached to the event are deleted with it. This needs the separate Calendar → Delete Events permission, so a crew member may well be able to create and edit events without being able to remove them.
