Customize Help Text in Master Calendar

As the Master Calendar site administrator, you can customize messages in key areas of your system that provides organization-specific information or hints to your users about how to use Master Calendar. For example, you might want to place help text above a calendar that explains what type of events that a user should and should not post to the calendar.

You have two options for managing help text in Master Calendar: from the Help Text function on the Admin menu, or click the Edit link next to the help text on a page.

  1. From the Admin Panel, navigate to Admin > Site Administration > Help Text. 

    The Help Text page opens. By default, when the page first opens, Help Text Edit mode is disabled.

  2. Click the Lookup Key link for the help text to open the page for editing the help text.

    The Calendar Managers Help page opens for editing the help text in the selected area of Master Calendar. Options include: 

    • Collapse Help Text – This requires the user to click on the Help Text icon to display the help text.

    • Cultures – If you configured cultures for Master Calendar, they are displayed in a Culture dropdown list. You can select a different culture (language) in which the help text is to be displayed. The guest’s or user’s browser language must be set to the appropriate culture (language) to display these translations.

  3. Enter the help text in the blank Design tab. Use the available formatting options to select the font size, style, color, and so on.
  4. Optionally, do one or both of the following:
    • Click Preview to view the Help text as it will be displayed in your Master Calender system.
    • Click HTML to view the HTML code for the help text.
  5. Click Save.

  6. Toggle Enable Help Text.

    The message “Help Text Mode is now enabled” displays above the toggle, and the toggle now reads “Disable Help Text Edit.”

  7. To disable Help Text mode, toggle Disable Help Text Edit. The message “Help Text Mode is now disabled” is displayed above the toggle, and the toggle now reads “Enable Help Text Edit.”
