Creating and using Calendars, is an advanced feature. Especially, if you’re not yet familiar with using Contentstack, we recommend to concentrate on the prepared calendars in Support → Training and News Center → Events. To avoid confusion in the administration, we strongly recommend to segment your work into these basic steps:

1st Step: Create a calendar
...
Internal Name | The Internal Name helps you to identify the appointment in the Contentstack list of entries.
Start date | Provide the start date and time of the appointment.
If you do not want to add a specific start time, leave the time value to the default “00:00:00+0000”.End date | Optionally, provide the end date and time of the appointment. If you leave the end date empty, the appointment appears as a one-day-appointment.
If you do not want to add a specific end time, leave the time value to the default “00:00:00+0000”.Display appointment start and end time | If you check this option the appointment appears with the defined start and end time. By default the option is unchecked to display appointments as all day events.
