   Forward Only	To have the calendar display only events from the date when someone views the calendar forward (but no past events), place a check in the box next to Show only events that fall after the viewing day However, a logged-in user can view past calendar events.
   Event Type Label	One section of the Add Calendar Events screen displays available event types and lets the user assign them to the event. By default, this text is Event Type:. To change the default text, edit this field.
   Event Types Available	If you want to allow users to assign event types to events on this calendar, check this box.
   Event Types Required	If you want to require users to assign event types when adding events, check this box. This checkbox can only be checked if Event Types Available is checked.
   Instructions	If you allow users to filter a calendar view by event type, text appears at the bottom of the screen that explains how to use the selection box. By default, this text is Select Event Type To View. If you want to change this text, edit this field.
   Show All label	If you allow users to filter a calendar view by event type, the list of event types appears at the bottom of the screen. On top of the list is text indicating that all event types will appear on the calendar. By default, this text is Show All. If you want to change this text, edit this field.
   Long Description	This field can allow the user to enter additional information about a calendar event. Your choices are: No Long Description - no additional description is allowed Text Only - while adding an event, a user can enter text into a Long Description box. No formatting is allowed within this text. This text appears in the Event View screen and in the XML Packet. Because the text is not formatted, the XSL creator is responsible for its display. Rich Text Description - works the same as the Text Only option (see above) except the user can format text using Ektron's eWebEditPro editor.
   Content Folder	Specify the calendar's content folder. To understand how folder assignment affects calendar use, see Calendar Permissions.

4. After you enter calendar information, click the Save button ( ).
