# Events workspace

Each event in the Footlight CMS is an _entity_ - a specific thing that is uniquely identifiable and machine readable. Events are shared to and from Artsdata.ca so they can be reused by others. This reduces the need for repetitive manual entry of the same event information in Footlight and elsewhere.

View, add, edit and publish events for your calendar in the Events workspace. There are two main views in the Events workspace:

* **Event calendar**—View the list of events with high-level information; access user-defined controls for publishing, duplicating and managing events in the calendar.
* **Event details**—View, add and modify details and publication status of a particular event.

**To go to the Events workspace:**

1.  In the left navigation, do one of the following:

    * If you have access to only one Footlight calendar, click Events.
    * If you have access to multiple Footlight calendars, select the calendar you want to view from the calendar list dropdown in the left navigation.&#x20;

    The Event calendar appears.
