Creating Events

PrimeCal uses one shared event modal, so the creation flow stays familiar no matter where you start.

Common Entry Points

  • New Event in the workspace header
  • Clicking a day in Month view
  • Clicking or dragging a time slot in Week view
  • Creating from the live Focus timeline

Practical Creation Flow

  1. Start from the view that gives you the right time context.
  2. Confirm the calendar first.
  3. Fill the title and schedule.
  4. Add location, labels, or notes only when they help.
  5. Use recurrence for routines.
  6. Save and confirm the result in the view you care about most.

When To Use Labels And Colors

  • Use labels for meaning, filtering, and Focus behavior.
  • Use calendar colors for broad categories like family, work, or school.
  • Use event colors only when a single event needs to stand out from the rest of its calendar.

After Saving

Check the event in more than one view:

  • Month view for overall planning
  • Week view for exact time placement
  • Focus view for live and next-up behavior
