## Create Events
On the Home Tab
On the Home tab, under Calendar, click **New Event** or **New Meeting Request**.
In a Chatter Feed

In the Sidebar
In the sidebar in Salesforce, in the Create New drop-down list, select **Event**.
On the Detail Page of Another Record
On the Open Activities related list, click **New Event** or **New Meeting Request**. Salesforce automatically relates the event or meeting request to the record.
On the Detail Page of an Event with Invitees
On the detail page of an event that you’ve invited one or more people to, click **Clone**. You can clone an event that has at least one invitee and isn’t a recurring event.
In a Calendar View
- Click **New Event**.
- In a day view, click a time, such as 9:00 AM.
- In a day or week view, double-click a time slot. You can’t double-click to create a recurring event or an event that you invite people to. If double-clicking doesn’t open a new event, ask your administrator to enable Click-and-Create Events.
- In a week or month view, click .
In an Activity List View ()
In a list view, click **New Event**.
In a List View of Contacts, Leads, or Other Records
In a list view of contacts, leads, or other records, click  at the bottom of the page to add a weekly calendar view to the page. Create an event related to a record by dragging the record from the list view down to a time slot on the calendar. If you don’t see , ask your Salesforce admin to enable Drag-and-Drop Scheduling.
Note If you schedule meetings with people in a different time zone, your calendar shows their available and busy times in your time zone. An individual person’s Time Zone setting (as specified on the personal information page) overrides the Default Time Zone set for the Salesforce org.
## Update Events
Anywhere (except reports) that you can view event details, you can edit any event that you have permission to edit.
You can edit an event in several ways:
- To reschedule an event, in a calendar view, drag the event to a different time slot. For best results, place your mouse over the subject line of the event before dragging it. If the event is a recurring event (), only the single occurrence that you drag is changed, not the entire series.
- Click **Edit** next to the event in an activities list view, an Open Activities related list, or an Activity History related list. The event detail page opens.
- Go to a calendar view, an activities list view, a related list, or the Home tab. Hover your mouse over the subject of an event. A small window with editing options appears.
