The Settings section controls who can view the calendar, who can post events, how resident-submitted events are handled, and what appears on the homepage. This section is only visible to administrators.
Getting to Settings
- Navigate to Administer Site > Modules > Calendar.
- Click the Settings tab.
The Settings page has three tabs: General Settings, Event Locations, and Notification Settings.
General Settings
View Access
The View Access dropdown (labeled with a help icon) controls which account types can see the public calendar. Choose the minimum account level required to view events.
Post Events
The Post Events dropdown controls which account types can submit new events through the resident area of the site. Set this to a more restricted level if you want only board members or administrators to post events.
Enable Events
This setting controls what happens when a resident posts a new event.
- Immediately — The event is published to the public calendar as soon as the resident saves it.
- After Admin Approval — The event is saved with a Pending status and does not appear on the public calendar until an administrator changes its status to Active.
Tip: If your community allows resident-posted events, selecting After Admin Approval gives the board a chance to review content before it goes live.
Upcoming Events
Controls whether a list of upcoming events appears in the right column of the community homepage, and how many events to show.
- Select Don't Show on Home to disable the homepage widget.
- Select a number from 1 to 20 to show that many upcoming events on the homepage.
Intro
An optional block of text that appears at the top of the public calendar page. Use this to provide context, instructions, or a welcome message to residents. Supports rich text formatting.
Saving Settings
After making changes on any tab, click Save at the bottom of the form.
