In addition to syncing external iCal calendars, administrators can manually schedule one-off school events, parent meetings, rallies, and reminders directly from the Edlio App dashboard.
How to Add a Manual Event
In the Edlio App dashboard, navigate to Features > Calendars.
Locate the target calendar and click the View (Eye icon) to open the calendar workspace.
Click the blue + Add Event button in the top action bar.
Fill in the event details:
Title: The public name of the event as it will appear in the app event feed.
Date & Time: Select the start and end dates and times, or check All Day Event.
Location: Enter the physical campus venue, classroom, or virtual meeting link.
Description: Provide contextual information, agenda items, or parent instructions.
Alert / Notification: Choose whether to dispatch an immediate push alert reminder to app subscribers.
Click Save Event to publish the event immediately to the mobile app.
đĄ Manual vs. Synced Events: Events created manually can be edited or deleted directly in the dashboard at any time. Events imported via an external iCal feed should be edited on the source calendar (e.g. Google Calendar) so changes are not overwritten on the next automatic sync cycle.
