There are several standard Event Types that can be selected when creating a new calendar appointment.

The Event Types setting in the Business & System Configuration section of the Global Settings page allows you to create new Event Types within your instance.

For example, you may wish to create a custom Event Type called Birthday Party.

To do so:

  • Go to Global Settings
  • Click on the link for Event Types under the Business & System Configuration section.
  • Enter a Name for your new Event Type (e.g., "Birthday Party").
  • Enter a display order, which will affect the order in which the Event Type will be displayed in the dropdown when creating or editing a Calendar event.
  • Setting your display order to "100" will order the event type to the bottom of the list of existing event types.

  • Under the "Calendar Preview Settings" field, users can enter enter information that will be displayed when a user hovers over the event in the Calendar. If nothing is entered, then the system will use the default template, which consists of: time & date, event type, location and participants.
