How to choose a calendar view

When you publish a Trumba® calendar, the first thing you're asked to choose is a default view. It's an important choice because the view you choose determines how your events display and how useful the calendar is to visitors.

To learn more about choosing the right view:

• Read a description of the advantages and disadvantages of each view and then choose the view that best meets your immediate needs.
• Find a goal that corresponds to yours and choose the view or views that will help you meet that goal.
