Click on the link below for appropriate calendar instructions!

How do I look at the entire calendar? This is useful for viewing the entire calendar and is often a good thing to do to see if your event is already on the calendar. If it is, don't add it again!

1. From the main or other pages at SquareDancing.com, click on "Calendar" on the top or left menu.
2. Click on "View/Search the entire calendar"!

How do I view only a part of the calendar? A neat option to let you search for events in whatever way you want - by State (say you just want to see events for CA), for instance, or by Event Category (perhaps you just want to look for National Conventions or Callers' Schools), or even by Caller or Cuer (a keyword search using the caller/cuer last name can be useful here, because it searches all fields & would find those instances where the caller/cuer's name is listed in the event description).

1. From the main or other pages at SquareDancing.com, click on "Calendar" on the top or left menu.
2. Click on "View/Search the entire calendar".
3. At the bottom of the screen, click on "View".
4. Choose whatever criteria you want to search by.
5. Choose your "Search Options" towards the bottom of the screen. A nice option is to choose "Start Date" in the "Sort By" box, which will sort your results the date of the event(s).
6. Click on the "View Records" button and Voila!, your results list appears.

How do I add events to the calendar? Useful for adding your own special dances, lessons, conventions/festivals, callers' colleges, meetings, etc.

1. From the main or other pages at SquareDancing.com, click on "Calendar" on the top or left menu.
2. Click on "Create a Username & Password". This requires only 2 entries and should only be done once - but remember your username & password (write it down!), as they will be encrypted in our files!
3. Enter your username & password desired and click on "Create".
4. Go back to http://squaredancing.com/calendar.htm (you can hit the "back" button twice).
5. Click on "Log on to the calendar" using the username & password you just created.
6. Click on "Add". Fill in the appropriate fields. Note that the fields designated by a "*" are required. You don't have to enter the username if you don't want to, as it will be added automatically. Use only the [Tab] key or your mouse to move between fields. The [Enter] key will add your record prematurely!!
7. Click on the "Add Record" button at the bottom to add your event to the calendar!

How do I modify events I've already added? Useful if you later need to change some portion of your event record. Also useful if you accidentally added a record before it was complete, perhaps by accidentally hitting the [Enter] key.

1. From the main or other pages at SquareDancing.com, click on "Calendar" on the top or left menu (This is http://squaredancing.com/calendar.)
2. Click on "Log on to the calendar" using the username & password previously created.
3. Click on "Modify"
4. From this screen, either search for your event (same as under viewing certain events) or just click on "List All" at the top of the form, which will list all the events you have added (you can only modify events you have added). Note: if you click on "List All" at the bottom menu, it will take you out of the modify function & list all events for everyone.
5. Select the radio button above the event you want to modify.
6. Click on the "Modify Record" button at the bottom.
7. Change whatever you want to change.
8. Click on the "Modify Record" button at the bottom, and you're done!

How do I delete events previously added? You can do this, but won't usually need to, since we at SquareDancing.com automatically delete all events once they have happened! If you accidentally add a record more than once, you can use this procedure to delete one of them.

1. Follow the same procedures as for modifying events, except the buttons are titled "Delete" and "Delete Record".

Why does my event get added more than once, resulting in duplicate entries?!

    Answer: Usually this happens when you are adding an event and accidentally hit the [Enter] key when moving from one field to the next. This adds the record to the database. Then, if you hit the "Back" button in your browser, complete & add the record, it ends up in the database twice - or more! If this happens to you, just use the delete procedure.

What dates should I use when adding lessons to the calendar?

    Answer: Use the first night of the lessons as the "Start Date". The "End Date" is up to you, but it might make since to use the last night for admitting new students to your lessons. That way, we won't delete your lessons from the calendar until the "End Date" is passed and you are no longer taking new students.
