How calendar updates you make appear to visitors

How your Trumba® calendar updates appear to others depends on how they are viewing your calendar.

• Shared calendars. If you share your calendar with other Trumba Connect users, the people you share it with see your changes in the Recent Activity panel when they display or mix in your calendar.

• Published calendars. If you publish your calendar to the Web, you can specify whether you want update markers to appear in your main calendar spud on new and updated events.

You can disable all markers or markers on individual events as you update them. If you choose to display the markers, they remain on the events for three days. The first time a calendar is published, all events are marked as new events.

• Emailed calendars. If you send your calendar by regularly scheduled email, you can choose whether to send additional email updates when you make calendar changes.

Disable all update markers for your published calendar

You can prevent any update markers from appearing on your published calendar by editing the views that you provide for your main calendar spud.

To prevent markers from appearing on a published calendar:

1. In the Trumba editing environment, display the calendar you published and click Publish.
2. On the Calendar Spuds tab in the Main Calendar Spud section of the Publishing Control Panel, under Available Calendar Views, find the default view, and click Edit Settings.

   

3. Under Calendar Display, for Display updates, click No.

   

4. Repeat the previous step for each view that is listed under Available Calendar Views.

Prevent individual updates from being marked on the calendar

Even if you generally want your updates to be marked on your published calendar, you can prevent markers on individual updates. For example, if you simply want to correct a minor misspelling, you might not want for it to be pointed out as a significant update. The correction itself still appears in the calendar.

To prevent a particular event update from being marked in the calendar

1. In your Trumba editing environment, display the calendar you publish and open an existing event for editing.

   In the Event Information form, when you make a change to the description, location, time, or notes, the corresponding box is checked under Send Updates for.

   

2. When you've completed your event changes, under Send Updates for, clear the check boxes that are selected.
3. Click OK.

Examples of update markers

The following list shows you what the update markers look like depending on which event field you update.

Marker	What it indicates
	An asterisk indicates a new event.
	An exclamation point and dashed underline indicate a change in the event field that is underlined. This can be a change in the description or date (without a change in the event time). An exclamation point with nothing underlined generally means that the event notes have been changed.
	A clock symbol and dashed underline of date and time indicates change in event time (with or without a change in the date).

Tip You can hover over the exclamation point () or clock () symbol to open a tool tip that tells you who updated the event and when.
