Your planning calendar and calendar app

Go to Planning and open My calendar. It shows, in date order:

• The event day, with a countdown, and the dates of your programme parts.
• Your reply-by date.
• Tasks and payments with a due date, from your tasks and your budget.
• Your own appointments and reminders, such as a cake tasting or a call with the florist.

From the calendar you can add a Task, a Payment, an Appointment or a Reminder on the day you picked. Tasks and payments open in their own tool; appointments and reminders are kept in the calendar. Reminders arrive as notifications in the app, not by email.

1. 1In My calendar, press Add to my calendar app.
2. 2Choose Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook, then confirm the subscription in your calendar.
3. 3For another calendar app, press Copy link and add the link in that app as a calendar from a web address (URL).

Your calendar app then shows your dated tasks, your unpaid payments with their amounts, your appointments and reminders, the event day, your programme parts and, once your invitation is published, your reply-by date. Your reminders come along as alerts where your calendar app supports them. Finished tasks and paid payments drop off by themselves. On an Android phone, Apple Calendar is not offered.

The link is yours alone, but anyone who has it can read your planning calendar, including payment amounts, suppliers and notes. Do not share it or post it anywhere. Your guests never see this calendar.

If the link has got out, press Reset link. The old link stops working straight away and calendars that use it stop updating. Add the new link to your calendar app, and remove the old calendar there if it is still listed.

Each person on the event's team has their own link, a Viewer too. Resetting yours does not affect theirs, and a person's link stops working when they leave the team.
