Publishing a Calendar Event
There are a few different ways to begin the process of submitting or posting a UT calendar event. The method available to you depends on whether you have permission to create events or publish events.
- Users with permission to create events can create an event to submit for approval. Selecting “Create” does not publicly display the event until it is approved and published.
- With all required event detail fields completed, users with permission to publish can publish the event. The event will be publicly displayed on the appropriate calendar once published.
- If your calendar has the public “submit event” link enabled, users with permission to publish can view and approve submitted events under "Pending Approval" located to the left within the Event Calendar side menu.
