Overview of Compile Events
This option allows you to compile all the public calendar events for
a time period, and view them as a list.
- To use the Compile feature of the Calendar, click Import in the Calendar toolbar. The following screen is displayed in the top frame.
Figure 1 Compile Entries screen
- Select the start and end dates from the drop-down boxes, for the period that
you want to compile.
- You can filter the entries by various fields. For instance, you may want
to only look at the events that were posted by a certain person. Choose the
field to filter by, the comparison to make, and the value to compare to. The screen above shows the choices you would make to compile all
the entries posted by someone named "Smith", in the month of May, 1999. If you
wish to see ALL the events posted in a given period, choose None for the
filter.
- Click Cancel to return to the calendar for the
current month without making any changes.
- Click Continue to perform the operation. The resulting window will show the
listing of all events for the given period which matched the filter.
Figure 2 Example of a Compiled Entries screen
- From the Compiled Entries screen, you can choose:
- Done: takes you back to the main calendar window.
- Compile: takes you back to the Compile Calendar Entries screen,
where you can enter compile another set of events.
- Download: allows you to save the compiled
list of events as a comma-delimited text file, and download that
file to your computer. When you click Download, a dialog box will
appear, in which you enter a filename and a location on your computer for the downloaded file. This file can be used to upload events into the calendar
for another course or as a template for adding further events to your current course.
