Event Series

In Helios Calendar an event that occurs on multiple dates (a recurring event, multi-day event or multiple date event) is called an Event Series. An event series consists of multiple related “events” (individual event records within the database) that are closely related and have been identified by an administrator to be presented to the user as such.

In addition to creating an event series by publishing a recurring event, Helios Calendar also allows admin users to create new event series using existing events.
