Using the Calendar

Calendar Style Guide

• Name of the event: To better list your event, please establish a set format for your area (as mentioned above). For example, Training for Excel. A "Tag" for all "training" events may be the word "Training". There is not a special field to place these identified "Tags" in your event.
• Date and time of the event: This is a required field. Example: 09/18/2008 03:00 PM
• Where the event is being held: This is also a required field. The building location is a dropdown menu. You also must complete the room number and address. If the building is not available, you may type the location in the "Specific Location" text box.
• Point of Contact: Another required field is the sponsor entry. You must include a department/school/division sponsor as well as a point of contact email and phone number. Do not use individual names. Phone numbers should include the complete 10-digit number including the area code.
• A selection of which calendar(s) the event should be listed (selecting more than 1 calendar will only place the item on the calendar 1 time, but will be displayed in multiple calendars).

• Who is the audience for the event? (for example, entire Creighton community, students, faculty and staff)
• Purpose: Describe the event/program/project
• Cost: Note if the event is free or if there is a registration free, when applicable
