Use Groups to Create Separate Public-Facing Calendars
Remember that Proxi uses one master calendar.
Use groups to create separate views for different event series or categories.
When embedding a calendar for a specific audience, select the relevant group.
Include all venues if needed.
Choose the desired display format:
Agenda/list
Month view
Enable the Add Event button if users should submit events from the embedded calendar.
Verify the Embedded Calendar and Submission Experience
Review an embedded calendar on a website to confirm it displays correctly.
Check that users can:
View event details
Search events
Add events to their personal calendar
Access the submission form if provided
Confirm the embedded agenda or calendar matches the intended group and venue filters.
Cautionary Notes
Proxy uses one calendar, so use groups to create separate public-facing event collections.
Only enable public submissions for groups that are intended to accept outside event entries.
Review all submitted events before publishing to avoid inaccurate dates, locations, or descriptions.
If an event is meant to stay internal, ensure public visibility is turned off before publishing.
When embedding calendars, verify the selected group, venue, and view type are correct before copying the code.
Tips for Efficiency
Create groups and venues first if you manage recurring series or location-based events; this makes event entry faster later.
Use consistent tags, colors, and descriptions to make events easier to scan.
Reuse venue records instead of entering the same location repeatedly.
Use agenda view for quick operational review and month view for public website display.
Test every public link and embed after publishing to confirm the correct events appear.
Keep a standard naming convention for groups and venues to reduce confusion across team members.
