Adding Events - Calendar Editor

Adding Calendar Events - Directly in TeamUp

If you have been assigned a private edit link for the calendar, then you will be able to create and edit events. This next section explains tips for each of the fields to help get your event found easily.

Event Title

This is what a user will see first, so keep it short, descriptive and ideally include an overall location. We also suggest using one of these emoticons as the first character, so that users can visually see what type of action it is (this has been added to the Key in the Calendar itself as well):

🔥 Protest 📣 March 🥁 Drumming 💥 Campaign 🎭 Performance/Theatre eg Reds 🐝 Community Assembly ⚖️ Court case 🎪 Circus/Festival ⛺ Camping

Some teams have also decided on a specific emoticon to flag their events and allow for easier filtering eg ☄️for XR London.

Dates

You can have all day, or start and end times. Repeating events are also possible. For example the third Tuesday every month.
