https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/architecture/events/conference2019
- Create the detail for this item now – to enter a longer description now, select this option and type the description in the Detail box.
-
- Enter the venue – for example, a room number for events on campus events – in the Location box.
- Specify the date, and start and end times. For events that span a full day or several days, select All-day event.
-
To set this event to recur from the Start date onwards, choose an option from the Repeats menu: daily; every weekday (Monday to Friday); weekly; monthly; or annually. Also, set the Until date to specify when the recurring event stops.
Note: by default, repeating events are a linked series – changes to the event apply to all events in the series. If necessary, you can unlink a series to edit individual events – for example, to change the guest speaker name or topic at a monthly research seminar. After you unlink events from a series, it's not possible to re-link them.
- Optionally, select the appropriate tags to categorise your event.
- Select Save.
