How do I create an event?

1. You can create and/or share an event with a connected or non-connected co-parent or third party using any calendar, with the exception of a parenting calendar. Parenting calendars are for parenting schedules and swap day requests only. If you do not have an Events & Activities calendar (or another calendar you want to use to create events), go to: How do I add an Events & Activities calendar? or How do I add a new calendar?

2. Optional, but recommended to get the most out of your AppClose experience: If you have not shared your Events & Activities calendar template (or the calendar template you want to use to create events and activities) with a connected co-parent or third party, go to: How do I share a calendar? Your calendar entries will be not be shared with a connected co-parent or third party unless you specifically choose to share individual events, appointments, expenses, or requests with that person (requires another step) using that calendar.

Skip this step if you want to create and share an event with a non-connected co-parent or third party. You cannot share a calendar template with a non-connected co-parent or third party.
