Customize what happens when you create a new event in aCalendar.

(Access these options under Settings → Event Defaults / Editor Settings.)

General Setup

• Default Calendar: Choose which calendar is pre-selected when creating a new event. (You can still change it anytime at the top of the event editor.)

• Start time: Choose the default start time when creating a new event manually. Options include All-day, Current time, Next full hour, or a Custom time.

• HTML Formatting: Enable rich text formatting (bold, italics, underline) in the event description field.

Defaults for Events

Set default options separately for Timed events and All-day events:

  • Duration: Default event length (for timed events only).
  • Notifications: Default reminder timing.
  • Visibility: Set default privacy to Server default, Private, or Public.
  • Availability: Set default status to Busy, Free, or Tentative.

Autocomplete
