One of the goals of Calendar is to get you away from a printed, monthly calendar.
Here's why:
-
Most churches have a lot going on, and fitting multiple events into tiny day squares (necessary for a month-at-a-glance view) is limited by design. Each square only fits 4-5 events max, but by running those events in a list view, there's really no limit to the number of events you can fit into a report.
-
The product itself is accessible by computer, phone, or tablet. Calendar feeds allow you to subscribe to various calendars on any software, and the embeddable calendar enables your church to display the events of the day on your church website.
-
Detailed reports give all sorts of other information, such as the rooms or resources used, the event's schedule, room setups, etc. One of the main uses for reports is to communicate event needs to the setup/maintenance crew.
You can see events for the entire year using our calendar arrows. The double arrow will skip a whole year to save you some extra clicks.
Tip
Filter by the tag of events you want to see before you run the report to get the most specific information.
Once you select Edit reports, choose a default report as your starting point for any custom report by clicking New.
Important
Only event creators, event administrators, room editors, and resource editors can edit custom reports.
Caution
Default reports cannot be deleted.
Give your report a name and description, then use the code to get the information you'd like on your report. The code can help you better understand how reports work and identify patterns and techniques you can implement in your report.
