Calendar

Events · See the band's events month by month in the calendar on the Events page.

What it's for

The calendar shows all band events of a month at a glance, so you can spot busy weeks and free days. It is part of the Events page: next to the list on a computer, above it on a phone.

When to use it

  • You want to see a whole month at once.
  • You are checking whether a date is still free before agreeing to a gig.
  • You want to create an event on a particular day.

How to

Browse the months

  1. Open Events. The calendar shows the current month.
  2. Use Previous month and Next month (the arrows) to move, and Today to come back.
  3. Colours show the event type – see the legend under the calendar (Gig, Rehearsal, Other). Tentative events have a dashed border; cancelled ones are faded and crossed out.
  4. On a computer each day shows up to three events with the time, title and a small dot with your answer (an empty ring means you haven't answered). + more shows the rest. On a phone each day shows only coloured dots.

See what's on a day

  1. Select a day number in the calendar.
  2. Under the calendar, Events on … lists that day's events with time, type and venue.
  3. Select an event to open it.

Result: If nothing is planned, you see Nothing planned for this day.

Create an event on a day

You need: The Create events permission.

  1. Select the day in the calendar, then New event below it. On a computer you can also point at a day and select the + that appears.
  2. The new event form opens with that date filled in – see Events.

See band events in your own calendar app

  1. Open Calendar feed in your account menu.
  2. Subscribe to your personal feed in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook – see Calendar feed.

Result: Band events appear in your calendar app next to your private appointments and update automatically.

Permissions and limits

  • Everyone who can see events (View events) sees the calendar. It always shows all event types, also when the list below is filtered.
  • Creating events from the calendar needs Create events (Band Admin and Band Manager by default).

Examples

Is 14 March free?

A promoter asks about a date. Open Events, go to March and select the 14th. If Nothing planned for this day. is shown, the band has nothing there yet – but ask the band before you say yes, or start an Event planning poll.

Common mistakes

  • Looking for a separate Calendar item in the menu. The calendar is on the Events page.
  • Expecting the calendar to show private appointments. It only shows band events; to see both together, use the Calendar feed.

Troubleshooting

I don't see New event under the calendar.
Your role can't create events. Ask a band admin.
The calendar is empty but I know there are events this month.
Check that you are in the right month (select Today to come back) and the right band.
