Event Import

Event Import is a tool to display events from other University departments on your website.

Alternatively, Event Subscriptions can be configured to automate the addition of events to your site.

To import events, mouseover Content then Events then click Event Import.

Import Event — Screen capture illustrating the location of the Event Import tool in the Drupal administrative menu.

On the Event Import page, you'll see events by publishing departments.
This list is inclusive of events that have already been imported (or subscribed) as well as ones that you can import to your site.
Like other event views, you'll see future events by default. You can change the search criteria at the top to find specific events or alternate date ranges.

After clicking the Import Event button, you'll see a modal window with options for categorizing the event.
Categories and tags are optional. You may select as many categories as you desire.
Also, you can add as many tags as well. Simply start typing the tag you want to use, and you'll see those options appear.
Once you've added terms, click Save.

Event Import Taxonomies — Screen capture illustrating taxonomy terms (categories, tags) that imported events can be assigned to.

To modify an imported event, click on the corresponding Edit Event.

There is no undo capacity after removing an imported event, so please be careful about removing an imported event.
To confirm that you truly want to remove the event, click the checkbox in the modal window and click Remote Event.
