TahmidA: Updates for 3.5.0

The iOS Version of EventR has a Widget that can be used to show the time of the next activity. You can choose to filter which items are scheduled for your widget either under Account, Settings, Widgets for global control; or Notifications, Calendar, & Widgets under the Summary page.

To install it use the normal iOS process. Hold your finger on an empty part of the screen until the elements start to wiggle:

Calendar Syncing

TahmidA: Updates for 3.5.0

[[File:Calendar Sync In App.png|thumb|332x332px|Steps to enable calendar sync.]]
EventR allows you to synchronise all the activities in an itinerary to your device's local calendar. This toggle can be found in the Notifications, Calendar (& Widgets) screen, under the Summary page. This allows you to use other tools with your itinerary information.

You can filter the sections, [[Activity Category Tags|categories]], and [[Activity visibility levels|public]] items.

We create a specific EventR Calendar, so depending on your settings you may need to enable it to see it. It will begin with "EventR - ".

For this feature to work, you must enable calendar access permissions to EventR in your device settings.

On Android, you'll need to enable a non-Google account (in your Calendar App, Settings, Manage accounts) before the calendars will be visible in the normal user-interface.

== Steps to exporting your calendar ==

=== Exporting iCloud calendar ===

==== With an Apple Mac (recommended): ====

# Go to a Mac, open the Calendar app.
# Click on "EventR - " calendar.
# Go to <code>File</code> -> <code>Export</code> -> <code>Export</code>, and save the [[wikipedia:ICalendar|ics]] file.

[[File:Steps to make a public calendar on icloud.png|thumb|279x279px|Steps to make a public calendar on icloud.com]]
'''Without an Apple Mac:'''

# In a web browser, go to [https://www.icloud.com/calendar/ icloud.com/calendar].
# Hover the cursor over the calendar, and click the "profile" icon.
# Enable "Public Calendar" (disabling after these steps is recommended).
# Copy the link shown, paste into the URL of a new tab and replace <code>webcal</code> with <code>http</code> .
# Hit enter and it will attempt to download the [[wikipedia:ICalendar|ics]] file.

=== Exporting Google calendar ===
Eventr Calendars only exist on the device to which it's been synced, so you need to export using a third-party app such as [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icalparse.free&hl=en_GB&pli=1 this].

Local Notifications

2026-07-06T12:37:22Z

TahmidA: Updates for 3.5.0

EventR Team can send a notification when an activity is about to start. The schedule for this lives under Account, Settings, Notifications.

Turn notifications on per itinerary. Once on, you can narrow what triggers a notification:

* section (flights, stays, transport, activities, parking, hire cars): toggle each on or off
* [[Activity Category Tags|category]]: your org's categories, but only the ones actually used in that itinerary show up
* [[Activity visibility levels|public]] items: whether items set to public visibility should appear, even if you aren't attached

EventR needs OS-level permission to send notifications. If that permission's been denied, the Settings page shows an inline prompt linking straight to your device's notification settings.

With notifications on, you get a banner when each matching event starts. Flights and transport also get an arrival banner; check-ins get one at check-in time, or 15 minutes before start if no check-in time is set.

To see what's actually queued, go to Account, Settings, Notifications, Pending. It lists every notification currently scheduled on the device: title, body, and time. Or a "nothing scheduled" message if the list is empty.
