The Calendar feature can be used to keep an up-to-date list of Events for your entire organization. Each Event can store all the details that a member will need to know to be prepared and find the event on time. The Calendar provides the following views.
- Upcoming Events - shown on the right hand side of the home page, this will show the next 8 events in the Calendar.
- Month - Shows an entire month of events and provides the ability to page through the months.
- Week - Show the events for a specific week. You also have the ability to page through the weeks.
- List - Show upcoming events in a table format for the next 1, 2, 3, 6, or 12 months.
- Print - Displays a view similar to the Month without the other website content so that it can be formatted to print on your local printer.
