Settings

This page lists the Calendar settings found in Site ConfigWhere your site's settings live in the admin, gathered in one place and grouped into sections by the part of the product they affect. Most settings have a site-wide default and can be overridden for individual events; a few are managed by EventDrake and shown as read-only.. For how settings work in general, including site-wide defaults and per-event overrides, see Site configuration.

The Calendar reminder settings.

Reminders

• Reminder Lead Time (minutes): how many minutes before a calendar entryOne item on a calendar, such as a panel, workshop, or performance. It has a name, description, artwork, and a start and end time, and can be assigned to a lane. The same entry can be attached to more than one calendar, so a headline session can appear on both a main schedule and a room guide without being entered twice. the reminder is sent to attendees who favourited it. Defaults to 15 minutes, and can be overridden per event. Set it to suit how far apart your spaces are: 15 minutes is generous for a single hall, and tight for a site where people walk between buildings.

Note

Each entry’s reminder is scheduled when the entry is created or rescheduled, so a change to the lead time applies to entries added or retimed after it. Setting this before you build your schedule keeps all your reminders consistent.

Changing this setting needs the admin role. Someone with only the scheduling role can build the entire programme but cannot alter the lead time.

For how reminders are delivered and who receives them, see What attendees see.
