Calendars
Each user can have their own public calendar using the UNL Event Publisher. By default your account is tied to the username used to log in to the system.
If your username is jsmith1, then your public calendar is located at:
http://events.unl.edu/jsmith1/
If you would like a calendar for your academic department or administrative unit, you can contact Brett Bieber to change your calendar 'short name.' You can also grant other UNL users permission to post events to your calendar.
Permissions
You can grant access to other users by selecting 'Users & Permissions' once you are logged in, and add users to your calendar. From the Users & Permissions section, you can add/grant permissions for any user within UNL by using their Blackboard ID.
Permissions are calendar specific, so granting Event Edit permissions for a user will only grant them permission to edit posted events for the calendar you are currently managing.
One calendar can have as many users as you would like, each with their own set of permissions.
Posting Events
To submit an event choose 'Create Event' from the manager screen and enter in the event details. If you would like to share your event with other calendars within the UNL Calendar, choose Public under 'Event Sharing Status.' Additionally you can choose to 'recommend' your event for the main university calendar. Check the box which says 'Recommend event for the main calendar':
Displaying Events on a UNL Web Page
