Publishing events
For an event to appear publicly on a website, it needs to be published. To remove an event from a website but keep it as 'draft' in the Footlight CMS, you unpublish it.
User Rights for Publishing
Editors and Admins can publish and unpublish all events.
Contributors can publish and unpublish their own events.
Guests can submit their events for review, and then an Admin or Editor will review and publish it for them.
Minimum Requirements for Publishing
Events must meet minimum requirements to be published or sent for review. The minimum requirements are set by the Admin and are configured in the Footlight calendar.
Minimum requirements may include event details such as title, date, location and event description. Each required event detail is marked with a red asterisk in the Event details view.
How to publish and unpublish events
To send an event that is ready to be published for review:
In the Event details view, add the event details and then click the Send to review button.
If the event details meet the minimum requirements, it is submitted for review. The next time you open the event, it will be read only. If you want to make a change, contact the calendar Admin.
