Events

Events are a wonderful dynamic datatype allowing you to schedule calendar items. You can schedule the Publish Date for an Event, so the item does not show on your website until a later date. Also, Events will automatically archive from your public website when the Event has concluded.

Helpful Tip: To edit an existing Event, select the icon from the list view.
