Introduction

A schedule is your event calendar - it's where all your events live. Each schedule gets its own unique URL that you can share with your audience. Before diving into the settings, make sure you've created your account.

This page covers the essential setup: schedule type, basic information, location, contact details, and core settings. For visual customization (colors, fonts, backgrounds), see Schedule Styling.

Schedule Types

Event Schedule supports four types of schedules, each designed for different use cases:

Type	Best For	Key Features
Talent	Musicians, DJs, performers, speakers	Events display venues, focused on "where you'll be"
Venue	Bars, clubs, theaters, event spaces	Full address support, map integration
Curator	Promoters, bloggers, community organizers	Aggregate events from multiple sources
Vendor	Food trucks, mobile businesses, pop-up shops	Location-focused for mobile operations

Tip

You can change your schedule type at any time. Go to Admin Panel → Profile → Edit and select a new type. The type affects how your events are displayed and what information is shown.

Basic Information

Configure your schedule's core identity in Admin Panel → Profile → Edit.

Schedule Name

Your schedule's display name. This appears at the top of your schedule page and in search results. Use your band name, venue name, or organization name.

English Name

If your schedule name is in a non-English language, you can provide an English translation. This helps with discoverability and accessibility for international visitors.

Description

A bio or description of your schedule. Supports Markdown formatting for links, bold text, lists, and more. Tell visitors what you're about and what kind of events they can expect.

Location & Address

For Venue schedules, you can add a full physical address. This enables map integration and helps visitors find your location.

Street Address

Your venue's street address (e.g., "123 Main Street").

City, State/Province, Postal Code

Fill in your city, state or province, and postal/zip code for complete address information.

Country

Select your country from the dropdown. This is used for address formatting and map display.

Address Validation

When you enter an address, Event Schedule validates it and generates map coordinates. This powers the interactive map on your schedule page.

Contact Information

Add contact details in Admin Panel → Profile → Edit so visitors can reach you. These appear on your public schedule page.

Email Address

A public contact email for inquiries. Use the "Show email" toggle to control whether this is visible to visitors.

Phone Number

A contact phone number. Displayed as a clickable link on mobile devices.

Website URL

Link to your main website. Opens in a new tab when visitors click it.

City/Country

For non-Venue schedules (Talent, Curator), you can specify your city and country. This appears on your profile without requiring a full street address.

Schedule Settings

Configure how your schedule works in Admin Panel → Profile → Edit.

Schedule URL / Subdomain

Your unique URL identifier. On the hosted version, this becomes yourname.eventschedule.com. Choose something memorable and easy to type.

Custom Domain

PRO Use your own domain (e.g., events.yourbrand.com) instead of a subdomain. Requires DNS configuration.

Language

Choose from 9 supported languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hebrew, Dutch, and Arabic. This affects the interface language on your schedule page.

Timezone

Set your schedule's timezone. All event times are displayed in this timezone. Important for audiences in multiple regions.

Time Format

Choose between 12-hour (2:00 PM) or 24-hour (14:00) time format based on your audience's preference.

Event URL Pattern

Customize how event URLs are generated. Use variables like {event_name}, {date_dmy}, {venue}, etc.

Example: {event_name}-{date_dmy} creates URLs like my-event-27-1

Accept Event Requests

Allow others to submit events to your schedule. Perfect for:

Venues: Accept booking requests from bands and performers
Curators: Let the community submit local events
Organizations: Collect event submissions from members

Require Approval

When enabled, submitted events go to a pending queue for your approval before appearing publicly. Review requests in Admin Panel → Schedule → Pending.

Request Terms

Add custom terms or guidelines that submitters must agree to when requesting events. Use this to set expectations about your booking policies, technical requirements, or submission guidelines.

Unlisted Schedule

Make your schedule private - it won't appear in search results or public listings. Only people with the direct link can access it.
