Calendar - create new event type, occurrence setting, email notification

Scoutbook New Scoutbook Feature Requests
1

Hello,
My troop would like to use the scoutbook calendar in a full fledged form. Few questions.

  1. Is there a way to add new event type when we create the new calendar event?
  2. After creating the calendar, I would like to edit it and make it with repeat option. I am not seeing that ‘occurrence’ setting afterwards.
  3. Is there a way to export the calendar events to Scoutbook from excel?
  4. When I created the calendar event, I don’t think the invitees are getting an email about the calendar similar to what we have in google/outlook. Is there a way to set it up?

Thanks

  1. Event Types are Static - not user defined
  2. Once an Event is saved Recurring option turns off unless it was saved on
  3. I do not understand this - there is nothing in Scoutbook to send it to
  4. If you want users to get an email you need to setup reminders for them

Thank you so much for the quick response.
2nd point- so I make a mistake in creating the calendar, I will have to delete the entire event and then create new ones? Is there a way to add this feature ?
3rd point-let me correct and explain little bit better: If I have a spreadsheet with calendar details. Would I be able to import the the spreadsheet to the scoutbook and it should automatically create all the events accordingly. This feature is there in most of the standard calendar.

Thanks
Nisha

You can edit a calendar event but you cannot make an existing event a recurring event.

The Feature Assistant Extension for Chrome and Firefox has a calendar import feature. The extension documentation explains the required format.

This enhancement has previously been requested, but we do not know when or if it will be implemented.
