Where to Place New Events
You can insert a new Event under an Events folder, which should be under an Events page item in your school or department content tree.
What Is Displayed
Events are displayed on the Events page while they are current, then automatically move to the Past Events page after they have occurred. Therefore, you do not need to move the events; the date fields determine when an event has occurred. The Event Title, Event Abstract, and thumbnail are listed on Calendar or Archive views. Clicking on the event title takes you to the detail view for that event, where more information is available.
Event Fields

Event Occurrences
If a single event spans multiple discrete times, you can add them as Event Occurrences under an Event. These times will be listed on the detail view.
