Creating Calendars

Creating a calendar in B1 Admin gives you a central place to manage events for a ministry, department, or your entire church. Each calendar can pull in events from one or more groups, making it easy to keep everything organized.

Creating a New Calendar​

  1. Navigate to the Calendars section in B1 Admin.
  2. Click Add Calendar.
  3. Enter a name for your calendar (for example, "Youth Ministry Events" or "Main Church Calendar").
  4. Add an optional description to help your team understand what this calendar is for.
  5. Click Create to save your new calendar.

The Calendar Detail Page​

After creating a calendar, click on it to open the detail page. This page has two main areas:

  • Left column -- The calendar and events editor. Here you can view, add, and manage events on your calendar.
  • Right column -- The associated groups list. This shows which groups have events included in this calendar.

Adding Events​

  1. On the calendar detail page, use the calendar editor on the left to add new events.
  2. Set the event name, date, time, and any other details.
  3. Events you add will appear on the calendar and can be published to your website.

Connecting Groups​

Groups that have events in the calendar automatically appear in the groups list on the right side of the detail page.

  1. Click Add in the groups section to associate a group with your calendar.
  2. Select the group from the dropdown.
  3. Choose whether to include all events from that group or only specific events.
  4. Click Save.
tip

Connecting groups to your calendar is a powerful way to automatically aggregate events. When a group leader adds an event to their group, it can flow into your church-wide calendar without any extra work from you.
