Getting Set Up

To get up and running with Events, you need to use the following steps:

  1. Verify Installation: Check if the Events plugin is installed. In the Admin Console, go to System > Plugins > Installed Plugins and ensure the Events Plugin is present. If it is not visible, contact Support to obtain a license.

  2. Install the JAR File: If the plugin is not already installed, you must install the JAR file. Detailed instructions can be found in Installing Jive Events plugin.

  3. Configure Advanced Incoming Email Monitoring: For users to add events to Outlook or another iCalendar-compatible program, ensure you have Advanced Incoming Email Monitoring configured in your community. For more information about email monitoring, see Configuring incoming email.

  4. Set Email Preferences: To receive email alerts that will interoperate with the calendar program, users must set their Email Preferences for Actions: Action Alerts in my Actions page to On. More information about choosing between email and stream notifications can be found here.
