The calendar events feature allows for specific date events, for example training days or conferences, to be added as a marker in users' calendars. The calendar events appear as a small triangular marker in the calendar and do not affect the ability for a user to request an absence on the given day. This guide provides steps for importing Calendar Event dates to an existing Calendar Events group using a CSV file.

Downloading the sample CSV file.
- Navigate to Admin tools > Admin panel.
- Go to Global > Calendar event setup.
- Click the Import Calendar Events button.
