Every event belongs to a calendar. Think of a calendar as a way to group-related events — Sunday services, Bible studies, internal staff events. Each calendar has its own color so events are easy to tell apart in the month view.
Showing and hiding calendars
Go to Events > Calendar in the left-hand navigation menu. A right-side widget panel lists every calendar under Calendars. Toggle a calendar's checkbox to show or hide its events on the month view — a filled-in box means events on that calendar are visible, an empty box hides them. Your selection is reflected in the URL so the view is shareable.
Managing the list of calendars
Click the Manage button next to the Calendars heading in the right-side widget. The Manage Calendars pop-up opens with the full list of calendars, including the color swatch, default visibility, future-event count, and the date of the next event for each one.
Adding a calendar
In the Manage Calendars pop-up, click + Add Calendar. Give the new calendar a name and click Save. Color, visibility, and default behavior are set on the calendar after it's created — see the edit section below.
Tip: Check Keep open to add another if you're creating several calendars in a row.
Editing a calendar
Click a calendar's name in the Manage Calendars list to open the Edit Calendar pop-up. The available fields are:
Name - the calendar's display name. Required.
Color - the color used for this calendar's events on the month view. Pick from the swatches or enter a hex value.
Default Visibility - Public means the calendar can be embedded on external sites and is visible to anyone signed in to One Church Software regardless of access rights. Private hides the calendar from public views.
Default? - if checked, this calendar is preselected for new events. There can only be one default at a time. This can always be overridden when creating an event.
Make your changes and click Save. The view history link in the lower-left shows the audit trail for the calendar.
Built-in system calendars are marked with a lock icon and cannot be renamed or deleted, though their color and visibility can still be adjusted.
Deleting a calendar
In the Manage Calendars pop-up, click the 3-dots menu at the start of a calendar's row and choose Delete. System calendars (those with the lock icon) cannot be deleted.
Warning: Deleting a calendar removes every event on that calendar. If that's not what you want, move the events to a different calendar first.
Tip: To move events between calendars in bulk, go to the event Listing > Bulk Actions > checkmark the desired events > Bulk Actions > Update: Mass change > choose the desired Calendar > Update to assign them to a different calendar.
