Adding Categories
Categories are descriptive keywords
that help organize your events, making it
easier for users to find them. Categories also
ensure your events will appear in the correct
calendar feeds across our websites. Categories
are added to events on the calendar event
administration pages. Please use categories
sparingly and follow the specific requirements
mentioned below.
- Audience Categories: Audience
categories are optional, but if you choose
to include them, you can use appropriate
categories to describe your target
audience in the Categories field.
- Organizer Categories: Organizer
categories, previously known as
"Sponsors," are mandatory for all events.
These categories generally mirror Missouri
State department, unit and organization
names. They can be added in the Categories
field.
- Required Categories: You must
include a category that matches the
Organizer name for all events in the
Categories field. Please refer to the
guidelines below to know how departments
and units are categorized.
- Additional Categories: It is recommended to not add more than three additional categories in the Categories field. These categories should be relevant to the university and please keep in mind that they can be used by other units. *Please use existing, approved categories whenever possible and avoid creating one-off, event-specific categories.
