WebEvent 4.0 Calendar Program
Overview
Our event calendar is WebEvent 4.0, purchased from WebEvent, Inc. We run WebEvent Classic.
WebEvent Online Documentation
User documentation from the vendor is no longer available on the WebEvent website. Please refer to the archived version.
Calendar Manager Responsibilities
Each DU calendar has just one manager although you may request additional users who can also enter events on the system.(All users must be setup with their own login and password.) As a calendar manager, you agree to accept responsibility for the following:
- Providing notification when the calendar manager and/or users should change. Use the form link on the left.
- Managing publicly submitted event requests, approving or appropriately communicating with the source within a reasonable time frame. (preferably within one working day of the submission)
- Keeping login ID and password secure. Sharing logins could crash the system. Those caught violating this policy may have their calendars removed at the discretion of the Webmaster.
- Providing oversight for others with authorization to enter events on the manager's calendar. Ensuring that other users understand the ramifications of sharing one login.
- Maintaining content over time. Calendars with no events posted for more than six consecutive months may be removed from the system pending notification to the calendar manager and a time for corrective action.
Request User Changes
Our license allows a maximum of 100 users. Multiple users may NOT share one login for the purpose of keeping a calendar up to date. Our setup includes more than 50 individual calendars. As a result, we must limit the number of users per calendar and request notification when a calendar manager leaves the University or changes responsibilities.
Use the form at http://www.du.edu/webevent/calform/chgcalapp.html to request changes in your user setups.
New Calendar Requests
Calendars are requested by filling out the New Calendar Request form. All approval is by University Communications.
