To add events to the calendar, super administrators and administrators have the ability to do so. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to add events in the calendar:

1. Login to the Campustom Dashboard using your credentials.
2. Navigate to the specific campus that you want to manage.
3. Once you've selected the desired campus, locate the "Calendar" module in the navigational panel and click on it.
4. Upon entering the "Calendar" module, you will see a icon button. Click on this button to proceed.
5. A form will appear where you can enter the details of the event.
   1. Start by providing the name of the event.
   2. Choose a color for the event from the dropdown menu. This is useful for campus members to easily identify various events with different colors.
   3. Select the date of the event using the datepicker.
   4. Specify the time range for the event within a day using the "from" and "to" time range pickers.
6. Set the visibility of the announcement post to the following types:
   • Public: All members in the campus can view the event.
   • Staff: The calendar event is only limited staff members.
   • Course: You can specify the relevant courses, and the calendar event will be visible to students subscribed to those courses.
7. In the bottom row of the form, you will find two checkboxes.
   1. The first checkbox is labeled "All day." By toggling this checkbox, you can indicate if the event will span the entire day. If the event is an "All day" event, the "Start date" and "End date" fields will appear instead of the "Date" and time range pickers. This allows administrators to mark events as multi-day events.
   2. The second checkbox is labeled "Leave day." This checkbox allows you to specify whether the event is a leave day or not.
8. Finally, provide any additional details about the event in the "Description" field.
9. Once you have entered all the necessary information, click the "Save" button to save the event.
