Is it possible to add custom tags to calendar entries?

 

Our group uses calendar entries to coordinate volunteering events, but there are some metadata we would like to require people to add.? They could just enter it in the description somewhere -- if they remember -- but I know that some calendar apps allow you to attach custom tags or custom fields to events, I was wondering if that was an option here.

Thanks,
Ariel

Premium/Enterprise groups have an RSVP feature that allows each attendee to include a comment.?

/helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-calendars/using-the-rsvp-feature?

These comments are only visible to the event creator and group admins. I don't understand what you mean by "custom tags."

Hope this helps,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,

The RSVP doesn't look like the right thing, but thanks for pointing it out.? Is there a guide to any other calendar features you get after upgrading to premium?

By "custom tags" I was referring to the ability to add custom key/value pairs to a calendar entry, which would then show up when someone views it, for instance novel fields like "Organizer Fax", "Event Type", "Event Sponsor", etc.

Thanks,
Ariel

Only what's in the manual, /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-calendars/adding-calendar-events and /helpcenter/membersmanual/1/working-with-calendars/using-the-rsvp-feature.? If you have a Legacy Basic group, I think you'll already have all the features available.

Most, if not all, of that could be put in the Event Information Panel.? If you use RSVP, you can also include a request for additional information from attendees when they are filling in the RSVP form.
