Calendar Admin Basics

Logging In

In the Members Only section of the APASC website, click the Company Events Calendar link to get to the calendar admin login page. Enter your Username and Password.

After you log in, you’ll be taken to the Default APASC Member Calendar. On the left side of the page you’ll see “Logged in as: (Your Company Name)”. Under this will be 3 links: Search, Admin and Logout. Click on Admin.

Since you’re currently logged into the Default calendar, you must now change the calendar to your own. Again, you’ll see 3 link options: View Calendar, Main Menu and Change Calendars. Click on Change Calendars.

Scroll down until you find your calendar from the list, then click “Continue” at the bottom. You are now logged into your company’s calendar.

Note that once you’re logged in, depending on what page of the admin area you are looking at, your main options may be listed as standard links or as a drop-down menu. To navigate between screens in the Calendar Admin application, use the drop-down menu at the top of screen. This menu also displays only the options which are available to your Username:

Adding an Event

Select 'Add Event' from either the Main Menu or the drop-down navigation menu. This will take you to the Add Event screen.

This screen is where you will enter the details for the event. In this program, events are separate from their schedule. This makes it possible to have an event added which has no schedule at all, or have an event which has multiple independent schedules. The first screen is for entering the details regarding the event itself, which is independent from the schedule, and should look like this:

The good news is that you only have to fill it the first two fields (Title and Description). Don't worry about the rest of the fields; some of these will be filled in automatically, and others are reserved for more advanced uses which we won't get into right now. Also note that you can use full HTML code in the Description section, including links. If you don't know anything about HTML coding, just stick to the basics--use <br> for a line break, <b> and </b> to start & stop boldface, and <i> and </i> to start & stop italics.

When finished entering the information for the event, click 'Save and Continue' to proceed to the Schedule Event screen. This screen allows you to select the time and date(s) when the event will occur. In order to schedule a recurring schedule (such as every Monday of the week, for example) click on the 'Recurring Schedule' button. This screen allows you to specify a more complex schedule for the event. To switch back to the previous screen, click the 'Standard Schedule Options' button. When finished scheduling the event, click 'Save.'

You have now successfully added a new event! In the above example, if we choose View Calendar from the drop-down menu, it looks like this:

Finally, to take a detailed look at a particular event, click on the Title (in this case, "Peachtree Class") to bring up the detailed description:
