The basics

Events

An event can be a single date or a period between two dates. Add events directly in Cucumbar or by syncing your Google calendar.

New event

Add a new event

You can either:

  1. Click the add content button in the top right of the toolbar and select New event
  2. Use the shortcut N to trigger new event
  3. Or click on a single date twice in at the top of calendar

This will open the event form.

To add the event, you need only a title and a from date.

Groups

If you add the same title in the group field of more than one event, you can turn separate events into a single line of events with a title in the timeline view. See Groups to find out more.

Edit event

Click on the event you want to edit in timeline or list view. This will open the event form. Make your changes and click save.

Note If you are using Cucumbar as a timeline events can only go back as far as the year 1678.
