Learn how to create, update, and remove one-time events with the following tutorial. For help with managing repeating events, see: How do I create/edit/delete a repeating event?
Creating a One-Time Event
- Navigate to the Calendar.
- Tap or click the + button.
- Click Event.
- Complete all of the required fields, which include: a title for the event, a start date and time for the event, and end date and time for the event. All other fields are optional, but you are encouraged to fill out those fields.
- All Day: If the event you're entering is scheduled for all day, you can simply select this box rather than inputting "Start" and "End Date" information.
- Optional fields include:
- Event For: Indicate whether or not the event is for a particular parent.
- Pick-Up and Drop-Off Parent: This will note which parent will be dropping off and picking up the child(ren) from the event. The start and end times for the event will be color-coded to indicate which parent is responsible.
- Children: Indicate which children, if any, are involved with the event.
- Location: Indicate where the event will take place.
- Sharing: Events are set to shared by default. If you'd like to make it private so only you can see it, click the check box next to “Private”
- Reminder: Set a reminder for yourself about this event.
- Note: Add a brief note about the event.
- Tap Add to save your event.
Editing or Deleting a One-Time Event
If you'd like to edit or delete a one-time event on the calendar, it must be an event that is still in the future. You will not be able to edit or delete an event if it has begun or has already passed.
- In the main menu, select Calendar.
- Find the one-time event and tap/click on it.
-
Only the creator of an event can edit or delete it. Events that have already begun or are in the past cannot be modified in any way, even by the creator.
- Edit: Tap Edit. Once you've made your changes, click Save to save the edits. One-time events cannot be updated to repeating events.
- Delete: Tap Edit. Then select Delete. If this event was viewable to your co-parent, they will receive a Notification to alert them that this event has been deleted.
Why can't I delete an event?
There are two reasons an event cannot be edited or deleted:
- Your co-parent parent or someone else created the event. You can only delete or edit events that you have created.
- The event has started or passed. Once an event becomes a historical record, it cannot be edited or deleted. This is done to protect the integrity of your information and historical record keeping. You can create journal entries on the calendar for both future and historical events. See: How do I create, edit or delete a moment?
