Understanding Event Views

Event Views control your calendars and widgets. Calendars and Widgets allow you to push dynamic content to your website, connecting your entire web presence and showing off your events and promotions. Event Views are designed to be flexible and powerful, allowing you to control what content goes where.

On the Main Menu of your account click the "Calendars & Widgets" button at the top.

Default Event View

Every account starts with a single Event View. This is the default Event View. Every category in your account is automatically added to this view. The name can be changed and color options can be adjusted. But, this Event View can not be deleted.

Custom Event Views

You can add any number of additional event views you want. Click the "Add Event View" button at the top of the page to create a new Event View. Give your new view a name and select the colors you want to use. You will also select which categories will be included in this Event View. You can select any number of categories. You can also decide to include events, promotions or both. Lastly, you can specify active categories.

Calendars & Widgets

Once you have a new Event View created or if you are just using the default Event View, you can grab calendars and widgets. For each Event View you have there are a variety of calendar and widget options listed. Each calendar or widget has an embed code you can grab for placing the calendar or widget on a website. The calendars and widgets will use the settings you have provided for that event view, thus dictating what categories will be pulled in, etc.
