AIAW Event Calendar - Logging on and using it

1. To log onto the calendar, do the following steps:

-- Click this link to open the Event Calendar in a new window. You can also open the calendar via the Events button in the main menu of any page of the AIAW website.

-- Scroll to the bottom of the calendar page and locate the small Google Calendar button on the right and click it once...

-- This will open the Google Calendar login page...

-- In the login boxes enter (or copy and paste) the email address and password that have been emailed to you and click the Sign in button...

-- This will open the interactive calendar page. From there you can publish, delete and change your events.

Note: Once your event is over, there is no need to delete your old events unless you wish. Just leave them there and they will soon disappear into history.

2. Using the calendar:

-- To publish to the calendar, do the following steps...

-- To enter your event, find the date of your event using the left and right arrow buttons...

-- When you've located your event date, click your mouse button on the time slot you want. A pop-up box will appear in which you can enter your event info.

-- To further edit or change your event info, click the edit event details » link in the pop-up box.

-- A new page will open where you can add your full event info.

-- When you've finished entering your event, just click both the words 'remove' on this part of the page to stop reminder emails being sent...

-- Now click the SAVE button at the bottom of the page.

-- You're done! What you'll see in the calendar page is something like this...

Tip: while you're still in editing mode, if you place your cursor over the little white icon at the bottom of the blue event box, it will turn into a little up-down arrow that you can use to drag your event box to the finish-time of your event.

-- Now you can log out. Return to your calendar page and refresh your browser window. You should see your newly published event appear on your chosen date. If you click on your blue event again, a pop-up box with the full details of the event will appear.

-- Remember, you can go back to your events any time and delete or change them, but you must be logged in first.
