Users will now be able to create personal calendars and events. These personal calendar events are different from the classroom level events that are automatically created with the creation of task posts, lessons and assessments with deadlines. In a nutshell, users can now create and add events in their personal calendar which will only be visible to them.
Personal calendar events needs to be manually added by users in their calendar. This can be especially helpful for learners who wish to add mini-deadlines for themselves for a long term project or something on those lines. Users can create and manage their personal calendars while viewing their own calendar.
Your personal calendar and their events can not be shared with other users on Teamie platform. These are only for your personal use.

Recurring events are an essential part of a busy schedule, and it becomes easier to manage them with the help of recurring calendar events. In Teamie, you can add and manage recurring calendar events in a very quick and efficient manner. You create multiple instances of an event with a single action. Furthermore, you can make changes to an entire series of events, such as time changes or cancellations, instead of updating each event individually, thereby saving time and effort. Whether you're scheduling weekly school meetings or monthly training sessions, recurring calendar events offer a simple and efficient way to manage them. Let's see how you can:
Kindly note that only the same-day events can be marked as recurring events, and the Repeats checkbox will be enabled only if the From and To dates entered for the event are falling on the same day.
1. Create an event.
2. Click Repeats checkbox to add the calendar event as a recurring calendar event.
3. Clicking on the Repeats checkbox will open another modal where users can select details about the Repeat Frequency (Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) and Repeats Until (the date until which the recurring events will be created).
For example, if you want to schedule a weekly meeting, select the weekly option, and then select an end date for the recurring event. This will be the date until which the recurring events will be created repeating at the selected (weekly) frequency.
4. Click Save to save the details.
5. Clicking Save will close the recurrence details modal and show the list of dates on which the events will be repeated.
6. If required, users can choose to remove certain dates from the list so that the recurring event will not be created on that date. There will be a count of the number of times the event will be repeated. When a repeated event is removed from the list, this count will be updated to indicate the actual amount of times the calendar event will be created.
7. Click Create Event to create the recurring calendar event. A confirmation notification appears once the event is created.
8. Once the recurring event, the required number of calendar events will be created at the set intervals as per the settings.
In case any video conference or Google Hangouts integration is configured on your Teamie site, then each recurring event will have a different conference link.
