The Calendar Events Window
Learn every major field in the Calendar Event window and how it connects events to production work.
The Calendar Events window is the full editor for a Calendar Event. Use it when you need more than a quick title or date change.
Core Fields
The title sits at the top of the window and the linked Idea beside it. Everything else is a field in the list below:
- Event Type: Filming, Release, Editing, Planning, Deadline, Review, Reminder, or a type your Channel created.
- Start and End: when the event happens.
- All Day: useful for releases, deadlines, and simple reminders.
- Description: extra context for the team.
- Attendees and Channel: who is involved, and which Content Calendar the event belongs to.
The field list follows the Channel
An event's fields appear in the Channel's field order, wherever you open it from — a calendar, the dashboard, an Idea's Events tab. It is the same list every time, and it is the same arrangement every other entity window uses.
Set that order in Manage Fields in this Channel. If the Channel hides a field, it collapses into a Show N hidden fields toggle at the bottom of the list rather than disappearing, because the event still holds its value. See The Manage Fields Window.
Production Connections
The most useful Calendar Events are connected to the rest of the workspace.
Use Link idea to attach the event to an Idea. Once linked, the event can appear in the Idea window's Events tab, and the event can optionally use the Idea title.
The Channel field controls whether the event belongs to a Content Calendar. If you leave it outside a Channel, it belongs only to the Master Calendar.
Recurrence and Reminders
Use recurrence for repeat routines, like weekly planning meetings or recurring review blocks. Editing a recurring event applies to that occurrence and the ones after it.
Use reminders when the team needs notifying before the event starts; times and methods appear once reminders are switched on.
Both are hideable fields, so if your Channel does not use them they can sit under the hidden-fields toggle rather than on every event.
Quick Edit vs Full Editor
Click an event once for the quick-edit popover. It shows a short fixed set — title, description, start, end, all-day, and the Channel on the Master Calendar — so most date and scheduling changes never need the full window.
Open the full editor for everything else: attendees, recurrence, reminders, location, a longer description, or the event's linked-Idea behavior.
Common Mistakes
Using the title as the only source of context
Add a short description when the event needs decisions, deliverables, or production notes.
Forgetting the Channel field
Channel-scoped events show in that Channel's Content Calendar and roll up to the Master Calendar.
Assuming a missing field was deleted
A field you cannot see in the quick-edit popover is almost always one that only the full editor shows — the popover is a deliberately short list. In the full editor, check Show N hidden fields at the bottom before creating a second field for the same thing.
