Add a location to calendar events

The Locations tool integrates with Calendar, enabling you to add locations to events you create in the calendar for a specific course or for the organization. Use this functionality to quickly and easily notify students where events are taking place. When a calendar event has an associated location, the location appears in the event information.

Locations must be active to add them to events. If you have the appropriate permissions, you can activate locations when you create events in the Calendar tool by clicking the Manage Locations link.

1. Access the Calendar tool.
2. Click Create Event.
3. Enter the details of the event.
4. In the Location section, do one of the following:

• Select a location from the drop-down list. All active locations are available to associate with the event.
• Select the Custom option from the drop-down list. Enter the name of the location for your event in the adjacent field.
• If there are no active locations and a drop-down list is not available, enter the name of the location for your event in the field provided.
