Jive Events Overview
Jive Events adds calendaring and event invitations to Jive spaces, groups, and projects and can integrate with iCalendar functionality.
Jive Events allows members of a community to schedule, discover, and attend events in a social setting. With an event planner, you can set dates, times, locations, and other information about an event, and invite users to get the word out. You can make an event visible so other people can join or use events privately to manage your own schedule. Community members can let others know whether or not they plan on attending an event, with classic Yes, No, and Maybe responses.
Events exist in the community just like any other content type, such as documents or discussions, and can be created in places, including spaces, social groups, projects, or your personal container. Events show up in your activity stream, are searchable, taggable, and visible throughout the community.
Using Jive Events
