# Create an event in the calendar

In Calendar, click Add new, or click a time on the calendar. Give the event a title, a date and a time, add the people to invite and click Create. They can get an invitation by e-mail.

## Create an event

1. Open “Calendar” in the menu.
2. Click “Add new” at the top right. You can also click a time on the calendar, or drag over several hours or days. A panel opens on the right, with the day and time you picked.
3. Type the “Title”.
4. Check the “Date”, the “Start” time and the “Duration”.
5. Under “Attendees”, add the people to invite. You are already on the list.
6. Click “Create”.

The event is now in the “Meetings” calendar. While you fill in the form, the calendar shows the event where it will be. To change its time, click another time on the calendar, or drag the event.

Only the “Title” is required. The date and time come from where you clicked. With “Add new”, the event starts at 09:00 and lasts 30 minutes.

> **Tip**
> Press Ctrl + Enter (⌘ + Enter on a Mac) to create the event without the mouse.

## An event for a whole day

Turn on “All day”. Then choose the first day in “From” and the last day in “To”. An event can last several days.

## Invite people

You can invite the people who use Skileo in your workspace: the “Business owner” and every “Member”. Employees and candidates can't be invited.

When you invite other people, the switch “Send invitations by e-mail” shows, turned on. When it is on, each person you invite gets an e-mail with the invitation, which they can add to their own calendar app. You don't get one yourself.

## Find a time when everyone is free

When you invite other people to an event with a time, “Availability” shows under “Attendees”. For the chosen day, it shows when each person is busy: an interview, a meeting, time off or a holiday. It doesn't show the titles of their meetings and interviews.

If the time you chose doesn't suit everyone, it says who is busy and suggests up to three free times. Click one to use it.

## Where and what

- “Location”: a room, an address or a video link. Click “Add a video link” to add a link to a new video call room. In the calendar, a link opens in a new tab.
- “Note”: what people need to know before the event.

## Choose where the event shows

A new event shows in the software you create it in. To show it elsewhere too:

1. Click the field “Which software modules show it?”
2. Tick “Every module”, or each software where the event should show, then close the list.

The field is only there when your workspace uses more than one software.

## Who can create events

A “Business owner” can. A “Member” can with the “Calendar” permission set to “Write”. Without it, the “Add new” button doesn't show.


## Common questions

### Can I create a task or an interview from the calendar?

No. The calendar creates events. Create a task in “Tasks”, see [Create a task](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/create-a-task). Plan an interview on the candidate's application, in the “Interviews” tab.

### Who can see my event?

Everyone who can use the calendar in your workspace, in the softwares where the event shows. An event can't be private.

### What happens if I close the panel before I save?

If you typed something, Skileo asks you first, so you don't lose it by mistake.

### Can an event repeat?

Yes. See [Repeat an event](https://www.skileo.com/help/en/repeat-an-event).
