    • Event Shortcut- The shortcut is used to give your event an easy to remember direct address. For example if you make your shortcut “Annual Sales Meeting”, then anyone can type “www.yourwebsite.com/Annual-Sales-Meeting” to visit it. This is useful for adding keywords to URLs for search engine marketing, traditional marketing, and creating easy-to-remember landing pages.
    • Event Date?- Enter the date of the event or use the calendar icon, to the left of the date field,  to open a small calendar from which you can choose a date.

      • Time- If a time is select, this will be displayed in the event details.
      • Multi-day Events- To enter events that occur for multiple consecutive days or repeat on a regular schedule, simply enable them by checking the “This event repeats” checkbox. Then choose an increment and number of repetitions.
      • Notes on repeating events- Recurring events can only be specified on event creation. If you wish to edit an event’s occurrence you’ll need to remove the event and recreate it. Editing the title, description, and other parameters of the event will apply the changes to all occurrences of the event.
