An event is a block of time on the [**Schedule**](/go/schedule) that is not linked to a job, such
as a site walk or a team meeting. You can add, move, edit, cancel, or
delete one. For the layout of the schedule, start with
[Introduction to the Schedule](/help/schedule/introduction-to-the-schedule).

## Add an event

Use **Create** to add an event at a time you choose, or click an empty time slot to start from
that time.

1. Click **Create** in the schedule header. The button appears on desktop screens only.
   - In the **Day** or **Week** view, click an empty time slot instead. The panel opens with
     that start time.
2. Click the **Event** tab. The panel opens on the **Job** tab.
3. Enter the **Title**.
4. Set the start with **Start date** and **Start**. Times move in 15-minute steps.
5. Set the end with **End date** and **End**. The end must come after the start.
   - If the **Event** tab shows a repeat section, set it as described in
     [Repeat an Event](/help/schedule/repeat-an-event).
6. Add an **Address** or **Notes** if needed.
7. Click **Save**.

The event appears on the schedule at its start time, and the panel closes.

> **Note:** The **Job** tab creates a job. Its **Schedule a visit** toggle adds a visit to the
> schedule. See [Introduction to Jobs](/help/jobs/introduction-to-jobs).

To pick an open time for a team member, open **Find a Time**.

1. Set **Duration**, **From**, **Until**, and **Team member**, then click **Find slots**.
2. Click a team member's name under **Schedule with**, or click **Schedule this time** if
   the slot lists no member.

Picking a slot closes the **Find a Time** panel and opens the Create panel with that day, start
time, duration, and any team member you chose filled in, on the **Job** tab. Click the **Event** tab, then follow
steps 3 to 7 above.

## Move an event

Drag an event to a new time or day. Its length does not change.

1. Open the **Day** or **Week** view.
2. Drag the event to a new time slot.
   - On a touch screen, press and hold the event, then drag it.
   - On a repeating event, only the occurrence you drag moves.
3. In the **Month** view, drag the event onto another day. It keeps its start time.

The event appears at its new time or on its new day.

> **Note:** Dragging needs edit access to the schedule. See
> [Roles and Permissions](/help/team/roles-and-permissions).

## Edit an event

Open an event to change its title, times, address, or notes.

1. Click the event. The **Edit Event** panel opens.
2. Change any of the **Title**, **Start date**, **Start**, **End date**, **End**, **Address**,
   or **Notes** fields.
3. Click **Save**.
   - For a repeating event, choose **This event**, **This and following events**, or
     **All events**, then click **OK**.
   - A change to the repeat pattern applies to **This and following events** and **All events**
     only.

The event shows the new details, and the panel closes.

## Cancel an event

Canceling keeps an event on the schedule instead of removing it.

1. Click the event.
2. Click **Cancel event**.
   - The **Cancel event** button does not appear on a repeating event.
   - To restore a canceled event, click it and then click **Restore event**.

The panel closes, and the event stays on the schedule. In the Day and Week views it is
dimmed and struck through.

## Delete an event

Delete an event to remove it from the schedule for the whole team.

1. Click the event.
2. Click **Delete**.
   - On a repeating event, choose **This event**, **This and following events**, or
     **All events**, then click **OK**. Skip step 3.
3. Click **Delete** in the dialog to confirm.

The event leaves the schedule.

> **Warning:** Deleting an event cannot be undone.

## Who can change events

- **Create, move, edit, and cancel**: need schedule edit access. Without it, an event opens
  read-only.
- **Delete**: needs full schedule access.
- **Assignee**: events have none. The **Event** tab has no **Assign** field, and events show in
  every team member's **Me** view.
- **Job visits**: open read-only. **Details** opens the job.
- **Recurring visits**: read-only, and they cannot be dragged. **Details** opens the job or the
  recurring job setup.
- **Time zone**: times show in your browser's time zone.
- **Small screens**: the **Create** button in the header is hidden. A floating plus button
  opens the same panel instead. The
  **More options** menu lists only **Unscheduled** and **Find a time**.
