How to create a calendar

Events

An Events section puts your program in your users' pocket: dates and hours, places on a map, a ticket button, and a way to add an event to their phone's calendar.

Add an Events section

In My App, Structure, click Add a section at the end of the Menu… and choose Events. Typing calendar finds it too.

Keep the name or change it, then click Add.

It joins your menu, with a warning sign… the section is missing a permission to work fully.

In Settings, Privacy center, switch on Calendar, so that users can add your events to their phone's calendar, and Save. As the page says, a permission reaches users with your app's next version on the stores.

Back in Structure, the warning is gone.

Create an event

Open the section: the Events list holds your events. Click Edit the content… then Create an event.

Give it a title, a start and an end: picking the start day sets the end day too. All day hides the hours.

Type the place and pick a suggestion… its address, coordinates and map follow.

Add a photo and a text with Add an element, as in an article. The first photo becomes the event's thumbnail.

In Info, a phone number and an email become buttons on the event's page. Other information links to a web page, and Ticketing service adds a Buy Ticket button.

Icon style sets the event's pin on maps: an icon, or its thumbnail.

Then publish it, now or later. There's no repeat option: Duplicate an event, then change its dates.

Your events are listed by date. Once over, an event stays here, marked Finished, and leaves your app on its own.

The events list

In Edit the design, Classic Bullet puts a date bullet beside your events… Classic groups them under a date headline.

Current date display sets the bullets: Starting time, for time slots… Start date, for each event's first day… Today's date, which puts events in progress under today… or Mention now, which marks them Now.

Enable viewing adds a map button to the list… which shows your events on a map.

The event page

An event's page shows its place and hours, Buy Ticket, then buttons to call, see the route or send an email.

Its design is Banner, with the photo on top, or Classic.

The Toolbar picks the actions on an event: Share, Favorites, and Add to the calendar.

Hours are typed in the time zone of your profile. Events are live as soon as they're published; a new section reaches your app once you publish it, with Publish my project.
