MIT Events Instructions
To see which events are coming up, select a start date from the drop
down boxes and enter the number of days you wish to look ahead.
Alternatively, type in a keyword instead of selecting a date and a
number of lookahead days. The keywords are:
| today | today's events |
| tomorrow | tomorrow's events |
| weekend | events through next
Sunday. |
You can also restrict the event listing by selecting those categories
in which you are interested. You can also choose to view events in a
compact or a detailed format. The former only lists the date, time,
event title, and location; clicking on an event title will give full
details about the event. The latter lists full details for all the
requested events.
For security purposes, you can only add events from within the MIT
network (18.*). Fields marked with an * (and red) are required; thus,
you must supply at least a title, date, time, primary category of
the activity, sponsor, and an e-mail contact. You can additionally
supply additional categories, a location, a WWW page url, any costs,
the audience for which this activity is intended, the dress that is
expected, and any additional description you wish to provide.
Submitted events should get listed immediately. In case you need to
cancel or edit an event which you have added, you can use the Event
Editing facilities provided or contact
eventmaster@mit.edu.
You cannot yet add automatically repeating events. This will be added
sometime in the future.
For security purposes, you can only edit events from the same computer
on which you added the event. If this is not convenient or possible,
contact eventmaster@mit.edu
with your request, and they will process it as soon as possible.
To edit an event, make sure you are on the same machine as the one
from which you added the event and request a detailed listing that will
include the desired event. You should see a link titled [Edit
Event]; clicking on this will bring up a page similar to the
Add Events page, which will allow you to modify any field you want.
You can also completely delete the event by clicking on the
Delete this event button at the bottom.
