Editing an Event

  1. I created an event but I need to make changes. How can I find it?
  2. I do not have editing access to an event I should be able to edit. How do I fix this?
  3. I would like to publicize a concert series, theater run, or other ongoing event. How do I do this?
  4. I am not able to select the event types that I requested. How do I gain access to these types?
  1. I created an event but I need to make changes. How can I find it?

    When you log-in to Sundial, you will see a master calendar of all the event listings in Sundial. Use the drop-down menus to find the date of your event on the calendar. You can also use the "event filter" button to limit the displayed events to those created by your group or suggested to a particular audience/calendar.

  2. I do not have editing access to an event I should be able to edit. How do I fix this?

    If you have a local Sundial administrator, ask him or her to review your group affiliations and to grant you the appropriate "modify event" permissions. If you do not have a local administrator, email sundial-help@columbia.edu with the event ID # and an explanation of the permissions you need.

  3. 3. I would like to publicize a concert series, theater run, or other ongoing event. How do I do this?

    You can either create multiple event listings for each performance or create one event with start and end dates that reflect the whole run. To create multiple event listings, you can create a duplicate of your original event and edit only the changed fields. Under "Edit Event," select "copy/paste." Then select "create duplicate." Once you have created the duplicate, find the copy in the main Sundial calendar under the original listing. Be sure to remove the word "(copy)" from the event title.

  4. 4. I am not able to select the event types that I requested. How do I gain access to these types?

    You have likely not been given permissions to use your types; this may be the case if your types were created for you rather than by you. To gain these permissions, contact your local Sundial administrator or email sundial-help@columbia.edu.
