Navigating events on the Campus Calendar
The calendar initially displays the current day's featured events.
To select an event category, click a category name in the list at the right. For an explanation of the types of events found in each category, read Details about Event Categories. Note that there is no category that includes all events.
To view events for one day, click Day above the small calendar in the bar at the right. Click a date on the calendar to display events for that day. To change the small calendar to a different month, click the back or forward arrow on either side of the current month name above the calendar. To return to the current day's events, click Go to Today under the small calendar. You can also move to the previous or next day by clicking the blue arrows on either side of the day title in the white area.
To view a week or month of events, click Week or Month above the small calendar in the bar at the right. Week and month calendars offer an option of selecting either list view or grid view under the calendar title in the white area. Note that displaying events for an entire month may take some time to load. Please wait for the data to appear and avoid clicking the stop or back button on your browser window.
To view event details, look through the list of events displayed in the white area. Here you will see the event name, time and location. The times shown do not include setup/breakdown times. To view additional details about an event including contact information, click the event name. A separate Event Detail window will open. To view earlier or future meetings of the same event, click the + button next to Meetings Before/After Today in the Event Detail window.
At the top of the bar at the right of the screen is an Events Quick Search box. You can search for an event in two ways.
Search for an event by reference number: A reference number is a unique number in the form 2004-AABBCC, assigned to each event. If you have scheduled an event, the reference number will be printed on your confirmation.
- In the first box of the Event Quick Search, choose Reference.
- The second box will automatically change to Is, indicating that you need to enter the entire reference number in its correct form for the search to work.
- Enter the reference number in the third box and click Go to perform the search.
Search for an event by name: Event name searches are case-sensitive; you may need to try more than once before finding a match with the event you are seeking.
- In the first box of the Event Quick Search, choose Name.
- In the second box choose whether to search for the entire name or a part of the name. Choose Is only if you are certain of the exact name, as this choice indicates that you will enter the entire name exactly as it appears in the calendar, including spelling and upper/lower case. Choose Starts with, Contains or Ends with to search using part of an event name. Contains searches for the name segment in any part of the name so this choice is the most general.
- Either TAB to the third box or click there. If you click, be sure that your cursor has changed from an arrow to an I-beam, indicting that you are in the right spot. In the third box enter a string of letters that is part of the event name for which you are searching. These letters do not need to be an entire word; they can be a segment of a word, but they must be the same case (capital letter/lower case) as the event name you are looking for.
- Click Go to perform the search. The search result may include several events from which you can choose. Note that your search result may include events from the past. Click the event name in the search result for event detail.
If you don't see the search result you expect, try a different string of letters, different capitalization, or all capital letters. Some names may have more than one capital letter such as PERA or McAfee.
For example, if you are looking for a certain event but you don't know whether it is called Pathway, Pathways or Path Ways, first try searching for a name that contains the string Path. If you don't find it, try PATH. If you still don't find the event but know that it occurs in September and involves meetings, you can use a month view of the calendar and event categories to locate the event.
