Okay. So let's do an overview of the calendar features within Rock. We should go to the external website that we provide you. You'll see that there is a calendar option and this shows you a block out here that allows you to view the calendar events and has several different options. You definitely want to take a look at the block settings here. There's block settings to do all kinds of things. You can hide or show this side calendar. You can control which duration types show up up here. And everything down here is really just a Lava template. So sky's the limit really with this. You can do a lot of cool stuff. So don't just get limited to by what comes out of the box or what comes configured out of the box. When you pick one of those events, you'll then drill down into this calendar detail here. So on the on the left side, you have some information about when and and who to contact as well as well as a registration link if that registration is linked to this calendar event. And there's a lot of logic in here. This is all, a lava also that you can change. There's a lot of logic in here that kind of help you on, get this right. So if registration hasn't started yet, you can note that. If there's multiple registrations tied to an event, it'll display those correctly and appropriately. And over on the on the right hand side is really the details. And again, this is this is Lava based so you can change how this looks also. So before we go too far, let's really talk about the structure of the calendaring system within Rock. It's really patterned after how churches run specific events. So it has features that are specific really to churches. So we start first with calendars. Okay. And you can have as many calendars and Rock as you want. So in this case, we we ship out of the box with a public calendar and an internal calendar. Now some churches go out here and create several other calendars, one for maybe their youth, one for their children's, one for specific ministries, and that's okay. You don't necessarily have to do that but you can do that. Because the secret is that an event can belong to more than one calendar. Okay? So this Rock solid finance class is actually on the public calendar and the internal calendar. And that's nice because maybe the internal staff need, need to see that, so they can do their planning. But at the same time, you want your members and attendees seeing that on your website. Okay. So you create this event. And this event is very similar to how event registration works. It's it's almost a template. Right? And then you have these event occurrences that happen. In this case, this one happens once a month. And again, we did this because churches often have events that reoccur and and that's what these event occurrences allow for. Now, it could be too that each one of these occurrences has a schedule. In this case, we're just saying, hey, it's on this one day, one night. But these actually could have some recurrence than in of themselves. It could be that each occurrence here actually is three nights worth of content. But each of those occurrences stands alone as a complete class. So this is the structure of the calendar and as we drill through some of the configuration, you might review, you might revert back to this and and and remind yourself of this layout.
