Event Basics

When you open a calendar, you are presented with a list of all events that are available for inclusion when the calendar is printed. The list is in three columns: Fixed Holidays, Movable Holidays, and Custom Events.

  • Fixed holidays are those that occur on the same day every year, such as Independence Day.
  • Movable holidays are those that occur on different days in different years, such as Labor Day.
  • Custom events are those that you create yourself.

The holidays listed are those supported by CalendarGuru. If you celebrate a holiday that is not listed, you must create a custom event for it.

The New Event Template

There is one special event, the NEW EVENT TEMPLATE. Every custom event is created by starting from the NEW EVENT TEMPLATE. You can edit the layout of the NEW EVENT TEMPLATE as with any other, but you cannot rename or delete it. If you are going to create several custom events and you want them to have the same style, you should edit the NEW EVENT TEMPLATE to have the style you want.

Selecting Events for Inclusion

To the left of each event is a check box. Only the checked events are printed in your calendar. To place a check mark or remove one, just click inside the box. The NEW EVENT TEMPLATE is never printed, so it cannot be checked.
