More information and other event customization

You ended up on this page because you clicked a More Information link in an event on a Trumba U calendar (or under Try this on the main calendar page).

Including links in your events to pages on your own or other websites is one way to customize the events. Links in events allow you to provide site visitors with valuable background information. For example, you might link from events to biographical information, reviews, articles, and more.

More information links are just one of many event customization options available to you in Trumba® Connect. The following list describes additional options and shows you where to look to see them in action.

• Create event types and/or custom fields so you can describe your events fully.

  Visit the Alumni calendar. Notice the Alumni Chapter custom field in each event on the calendar. Filter events using the Alumni Chapter spud on the right.

• Include pictures in events when presentation matters.

  Visit the Trumba U Performing Arts calendar for an example of the visual appeal pictures add to a calendar.

• Add map links to locations so potential attendees know exactly where an event will be held.

  Visit the Alumni calendar. Click a location in an event to see a map.

• Set up event registration so visitors can sign up to attend events right from the calendar.

  Visit the Student Development calendar to try signing up for a tai chi class.

• Customize your event details pages so the information is presented and arranged the way you want.

  Visit the Alumni calendar. Click an event description to see a customized event details page.

• Include "mailto" links that visitors click to send an email message to request more information.

  Visit the Admissions calendar and click the Admissions link in the Contact field of any event.

Tip

You can also use HTML code to format the event Notes and other text fields. For example, you can create bulleted lists, make important words bold, and include hyperlinks.
