Viewing the Facilities Calendar

Prev Next

The Facilities Calendar allows you to view activities, events, and facility use throughout your district or organization. You can use the calendar to find what is happening at a specific location or room, check when a space is in use, and view additional information about public events and programs.

Note:

The Facilities Calendar is only available when your district or program has chosen to display it on the Community Portal. If available, the information shown on the calendar may vary depending on your district's settings.

The Community Portal displays a calendar that is displaying the events occurring during the selected week

Accessing the Facilities Calendar

If your district or program has enabled the Facilities Calendar, you can access it from the Calendar link in the footer of any page on the Community Portal.

The page footer displays a link to the Calendar

Your district may also provide additional buttons or links to the Facilities Calendar in other locations across the Community Portal.

Viewing Facility Locations

Some facility locations have their own Community Portal page. These pages may include a picture, description, address, map, available hours, and a calendar showing events for that location.

When viewing a location's calendar, the Locations filter is limited to that location and its related buildings, making it easier to see what is scheduled at a particular facility.

Changing the Calendar View

The calendar can be displayed in several different views depending on how you want to browse events:

  • Month: Displays events across the full month.
  • Week: Displays events for one week.
  • Day: Displays events for a single day.
  • List: Displays events in a list instead of a calendar.

The navigation options are displayed at the top of the calendar

Use the Arrow ( ) buttons to move between the displayed dates. You can also use the Calendar ( ) button to navigate to a different date.

If a day contains more events than can be displayed on the calendar, select the + more link at the bottom to view the additional events.

Filtering the Calendar

Use the filters at the top of the calendar to narrow the events that are displayed.

You can filter by:

  • Locations: Select one or more district locations.
  • Rooms: Select specific rooms or spaces.
  • Time Range: Limit the calendar to events occurring during a selected time period.

After choosing your filters, click Apply Filters.

Click Reset Filters to clear the selected filters and return to the default calendar view.

The Locations filter is expanded to show a selectable list of locations

The locations currently included in the calendar are displayed beneath the Calendar heading.

Note:

Your district may choose whether individual room details are displayed on the public calendar.

Sharing a Calendar View

Your selected calendar view, date, locations, rooms, and time range are included in the calendar's web address.

To share the same calendar view with someone else, copy the URL from your browser and send it to them. When they open the link, the calendar opens with the same selections.

Viewing Programs and Activities

Some calendar entries are connected to programs or activities that are available through the Community Portal.

When you select one of these events, additional information may be displayed, such as the program description, meeting dates, days of the week, price, grade or age information, and registration availability.

Select Learn More when available to open the related program or activity page.

The details screen displays information about the event or activity that has been selected

You may also be able to switch between Occurrence, Calendar, and Table views within the event details to review additional dates for the program.
