Location
Enter a physical address, room name, or "Video call" if using a meeting link.
All-Day Toggle
Enable All-day for events that span the entire day (e.g., holidays, conferences). Start/end times are ignored when all-day is on.
Recurring Events
Set a repeat pattern for recurring events:
- Enable Recurring (or Repeat) in the event form
- Choose the pattern:
- Daily — Every day
- Weekly — Every week (optionally select days)
- Monthly — Same date each month
- Custom — Other patterns if available
- Set an end date — When the recurring series stops
You can edit a single occurrence or the entire series. Choose when saving or from the event context menu.
Color
Choose a color from the available palette to visually categorize events. Colors help you quickly distinguish event types at a glance.
Meeting Link
Toggle Add Meeting Link to auto-generate a video meeting room link. The link is included in the event and shared with attendees.
See Meeting Links for details.
