ADD A NEW CALENDAR
CONFIGURE YOUR DATA
Before you create a calendar, you’ll need a dataset in Mapline that contains the events you want to display. This could be a new dataset you’ve uploaded, or an existing one that you’ve been updating over time. You can even take a calendar from another source, export it, and reupload it into Mapline—transforming static event lists into a dynamic, interactive schedule.
If your dataset includes event names, start times, end times, and locations, you’re already set up for success. If not, don’t worry—Mapline makes it easy to adjust your data as you go.
ADD A NEW CALENDAR
Now for the fun part—creating your calendar! From the Mapline home page, click the ADD NEW ITEMS menu, then select NEW CALENDAR. Give your calendar a name that makes sense for your business—whether it’s “Sales Team Meetings,” “Delivery Schedules,” or “Project Deadlines.” Once you’ve entered a name, click OK, and you’re off to the races!
ADD CALENDAR EVENTS
Your calendar is ready—but it’s time to fill it with events. Since Mapline pulls directly from your dataset, all you need to do is configure your settings so your calendar displays the right information.
Here’s what each setting controls:
- SOURCE DATA – Select the dataset or view from your Mapline library that contains your events. Click the blue checkmark to apply.
- TITLE – Choose the dataset column that contains event titles, or select the INPUT tab to manually type a title for all events.
- START DATE – Select the dataset column with event start dates, or manually enter a default date for all events.
- START TIME – Pick the dataset column with start times, or enter a default time manually.
- END: SELECT MODE – Choose whether to define event length by DURATION or END DATE AND TIME.
- DURATION – Select the dataset column with event durations, or manually input a standard duration for all events.
- END DATE – If using end dates, choose the dataset column that contains them, or manually enter a default.
- END TIME – If using end times, choose the dataset column that contains them, or manually enter a default.
- LOCATION – Choose the dataset column with event addresses, or manually enter an address for all events.
- NOTES – Select the dataset column that contains additional event details, or manually enter notes as needed.
EDIT AND MANAGE YOUR CALENDAR
Need to make a quick adjustment? No problem. Click and drag events to rearrange them effortlessly.
For more advanced settings, click OPTIONS > SETTINGS to update your time zone or adjust calendar preferences. From the OPTIONS menu, you can also:
- Share your calendar with teammates or clients.
- Embed your calendar on a website or dashboard.
- Download your calendar for offline access.
With Mapline, your calendar isn’t just a static schedule—it’s a living, breathing tool that keeps your operations running at peak efficiency.
