What is a Category?

We use categories to group events into separate calendar views as well as control if events are public or private.  For example:

Schools might create categories for academics, athletics and administration (private category).
Businesses might create all private categories for staff vacation, marketing, and staff meetings
Churches might set up categories for mass schedule,  church hall bookings and clergy appointments (private category).  Learn how to prevent double booking here

Make a category public to allow any calendar visitor to view its events or make a category private to require login to view its events.

Admin Menu > under calendar settings > Categories > click Add > select font styles, legend colors & public or private > Save

Note: you may edit and rename the “General” category.
