Adding a Calendar Event

Channels are dynamically controlled by calendar events. The site will use its respective calendar to determine when to show specific content on the page to viewers, based on your scheduled events in the site's calendar.

Access Your Calendar

To access your calendar, click on Channels in the Control Panel. Next, find your Channel and either hover on the card for the “Go to Calendar” option or click the Calendar icon at the bottom of the card which enables the “Customize Channel” option.

This will take you to your calendar to schedule an event or set your Event Window.

Helpful Tip: An Event Window can be used in two ways: to specify a custom date range (example: for a Live Event) or as a query setup for your schedule in Sardius.Live (how many days/events to show in the schedule). If you do not use the custom date range option for an event, then the gold bar will not be displayed on your calendar as noted in the example below.

The Event Window is displayed below as an example of a Live Event. You will see the window at the top of your calendar (noted as the gold bar below). This window is generally set when you create your Channel. You can update your Event Window under Channel Settings

Creating a Calendar Event

You can create a calendar event by one of the following options: (similar to Google Calendar or other digital calendars)

Click on Add Event under the calendar
Click on your preferred time in the calendar
Click on the blue Add event on the top right of the screen

Creating a One Time Event

Now that you have selected Add Event, you can create a one time event by entering the Event name, date and time. Next, determine if the event will repeat. If not, you can add additional details for the event or click Add event to save the event.
