Displaying Calendars on a Page

Once a calendar has been created, and events have been added to the calendar, a calendar is ready to be placed on a page. The type of calendar used largely depends on where the calendar is being placed on the website. There are three types of calendar displays.

The Mini Calendar and Upcoming Events presentations are smaller and work best on district or building home page columns, or below side navigation columns.

The Multi-Calendar Agenda should only be used in full width sections of pages.

The following video goes through adding each calendar type.
