If you need to make edits to a single event. Do not edit the event on your Outlook or Google Calendar Calendar. DocketCalendar will create individual copies of your events for each Calendar. Changes made on a Calendar will only apply to that person's calendar and if the Event is updated by DocketCalendar any changes made by an individual may be over written.

Finding Your Event

To Edit or Delete (Archive) an event, you will need to find the Event in DocketCalendar. If you are viewing a Trigger you will see a list of events for that Trigger on the View Trigger screen you can view, edit and delete from the list of event on any View Trigger screen. You can also use the View All Events function to find, view, and edit your events. From the View All Events Screen you can search your Events using the Search field.

If you are looking at the built in Calendar in the DocketCalendar application, you can click on any event on the Calendar and click the View Event button. You can also access any event from your Outlook Calendar. Each event on your Outlook Calendar will contain a link to the corresponding DocketCalendar event. Note: You must have your DocketCalendar login credentials to view the events in DocketCalendar.

View Event

The View Event Screen shows all of the details of your Event. Many of these values are also visible in your Calendar entries but the View Event Details screen contains every piece of event information available including the Original Event date, the Court Rule and Date Rules so if you recalculate, you will always know your original date and if you have questions about your deadline, you have the rule text right on screen.

If you want to Edit of Delete (Archive) and event, from the View Event screen, click Edit Even

Edit or Delete /Archive an Event

On the Edit Event Screen, you can Modify the Event Title, Change the Date, Modify any of the Custom Text Fields.

Edit Text:

Note: Text and Category Changes made to an individual Event will be retained during Recalculation and Update. If you update the Comment Text at the Event level and then Update the Comment Text at the Trigger level at a later time, the Trigger change will overwrite the Event. However if you make changes to the Comment Text at the Event level and then Update the Location, the changes made to the Comment at the Event level will be remembered. They will only be overwritten if that specific field is being modified at a higher (Trigger) level.

Text and Category changes do not apply to Children Events - See Parent Events with Children below

Although you can add and remove Calendars from an individual Event, The DocketCalendar program currently does not support these events during Trigger Updates. If you make updates to a Trigger, or you Delete / Archive a trigger any Events added to Calendars at the Event level will not be updated. In the event that you need to update a Trigger that has an event with additional Calendars added to it at the single Event level, we recommend, going back to the Event, removing the additional Calendars at the event level, make your Trigger changes, then add your additional Calendars back.

Edit Date:

You can modify the Date on any single Event. If you make changes to the Date, and you also make changes to the Text both functions can be updated at the same time. However, if you hare updating an Event that has Children, even if you select the Update Children option, only the Date will be used to Recalculate the Children.

Edit Calendars:

Add and Remove Calendars does not factor in Child Events. You can only Add or Remove a Calendar from a Single Event on the Edit Event Screen.

Parent Events with Children

Most Events in DocketCalendar are calculated from a Trigger Date. The Trigger Date is used to calculate the due dates, but some events are actually Triggered by an event that is being Triggered itself. We call Events with Sub Events, Parents, and their Sub Events Children. Example. Trial is the Trigger. Discovery Cutoff is a Parent,  L/D to Serve Notice of Motion re Non-expert Discovery is Triggered by Discovery. This would be a Child Event.

If you edit a single Event that is a Parent, you will be Prompted by DocketCalendar to consider Updating the Child Events. You can only Update the Date on the Child Events. This function is only to make sure that if you change the Date of a Parent, it's Child Events will be updated to the proper dates.

Changes made to Text, or Category will only be applied to the Parent. Typically you would use this function, for example, to add a Zoom link to the Day of Deposition, but not to all of the Child Events.

Delete / Archive  Events

You can remove an Event from your Calendar use the Archive Event Button. To remove an entire trigger Update the Trigger and use the Archive Trigger button.
