Calendaring

Adding Events to the SharePoint Calendar

Menu: New Calendar ItemThe events list is a standard feature on SharePoint. Events are viewed in a calendar format. This is very similar to using the Outlook Calendar. Click on New, New Item. A title, start time, and end time must be entered for each event.  A description and location are optional. The options are fairly self-explanatory. Make sure you specify a start date (or click the calendar icon and use the pop-up calendar to choose the date) and select No end date, enter a number of occurrences, or enter an end date.

You can also create a Meeting Workspace This is a great way of sharing important dates across county lines or by district.
