Quick Start

To publish items to the calendar or upcoming event views, use the Event content type.

Introduction

Event content is automatically displayed in several places on the website for increased visibility:

• Front school page (right sidebar)
  
• School's calendar view
  
• School's upcoming events view
  

Once an event is created, no additional linking to it is necessary; the views should automatically update with the correct content.
