Events Folder

All Events should be added to the Events folder, located at the root of your site. By default, the Events folder is set to be excluded from the navigation; see instructions on Excluding Items from the Navigation to make it appear as a link in the navigation. The contents view of this folder allows you to easily copy, cut, paste, delete and change the state of your event, depending on your role in the system. Remember, only Events in the published state will appear in the Agenda/Calendar, the Calendar Portlet, and the Events Portlet.
