This article is in regards to the main view for the various collections of events called Calendars. If you are looking for more information on the Events calendar view, please visit this article.
The Calendars view contains different groupings of events to allow for easier reporting and selection.
There are currently two types of calendars in Church360° Members: custom and anniversary calendars.
- A Custom Calendar will be added to events manually. An example for a custom calendar could be for "Concerts" or "Summits".
- An Anniversary Calendar uses date fields within a person's record to show as events, like "First Communion" or "Dedication". For this type to be used, a date-based custom field would need to be created. For steps on how to set up custom fields, click here.
