To create new event

Click the 'New event' button or click into an empty space in the desired day in the calendar. There are 4 types of events that you can create. These types are based on event access capabilities.
- User: visible only to the user creating the event
- Group: visible to a Group (for a course)
- Course: visible to all students of a course

Set the event title, description, start date, event duration (if applicable in minutes, or until a particular date), and create recurring events using the ‘Repeat this event‘ options. Remember to click on ‘Save’ to create the event.

To edit and delete event

Click the created event in Calendar. The details of event will be available in the pop up window. Click 'Edit' button to update the event. Click 'Delete' button to remove the event.
