Active This defaults to 'On'. If you want the event to be hidden from user view until later, change this to 'Off'.

Title Pretty self-explanatory. This is the title of the event. Keep it short and don't include the date or time. Let the rest of the form handle that.

Description Although not required, you should fill this in with a description of the event and its importance.

Image You can upload an image to be associated with your event. Just click the Browse button and choose an image from your hard drive. You can also use an image that is already on the server by picking it from the drop down menu. Set your selection to <None> if you decide you don't want an image with your event. Finally, select an image and click the Remove button to delete the image file from the server.

Template - The template controls the layout of your event when it is viewed. Normally, the default.tpl template is sufficient. If however, there is another template file you wish to use, select it from the drop down menu (see Figure 1).

Event Type There are four event types. Click the radio button next to the one you wish to use.

Start Time This is the time the event starts. You do not need to set this for the All Day or Deadline event type.

End Time This is the time the event ends. You should set this for Interval and Deadline events, but not for Starts At or All Day events.

Start Date The date the event starts. Note that the Start Date must always be before the End Date.

End Date The date the event ends. Normally this is the same day as the Start Date, however you can create an Interval event that takes place over several days.

Categories If you have created categories in FatCat, you can associate the event to one or more of them. If your event is important, consider clicking the Sticky check box. This will assure it is seen in the What's Related box.

Daily - The event will appear everyday until the termination date.

Weekly - The event will appear on every checked weekday.

Monthly - Choose whether you want the event to appear at the beginning of every month, the end of every month, or every month on the same day as the start date.

Yearly - Choose this if you want the event to appear on the same day every year.

Every - Here you can choose specific weekday of each month for your event to appear. For example, you could choose to have an event repeat on the second Tuesday of every month. First pick which week you want the event to appear in. Then choose the weekday. Finally, choose a specific month or the "Every Month" option.

Mini Month - uncheck this if you do not want the small month view to show in the user view.

Days Ahead - Set the amount of days in the future you want the calendar to look ahead for events. Set it to zero if you do not want it to display at all.

Cache Calendar Views - Check this box if you want the calendar to cache some of its pages. This can increase the speed of some views (especially month and year).

User Submitted Events - Check this box if you want to allow users to submit events.

Reindex FatCat - If you have deleted an event and it is still showing up in What's Related, check this box.
