Associated an event with a day. A event is a collection of associated information for your later reference. Information may further be organized by subject, tags, categories, and audience.

The event contains a piece of information that may be of interest in the future. A day is typically a flow of events and each event is in its own event document. That way the events may be referenced easily by a link.

While the event document my feel like a form at first glance, it is not. All properties (besides name and short description) and sections are - as always with the projectdoc Toolbox - strictly optional. But some of them are very handy to quickly organize events and add references to related information.

This makes it easier to track events on the participants' documents chronologically.

In case you need to divide the information of this event in several events. The only reason to do so is to have each subordinate event referable by its own URL.

Notes

These are internal notes that are usually not exported and only visible to team members with write access.

But this is not a safe place to store sensible information. It is just a convenience for the reader to not be bothered with notes stored here for the authors for later use. The security level is about suppressing the representation by a CSS style. Therefore consider this as a convenience for the reader, not as a security tool.

The text of notes sections is also indexed.

References

Often these proofs are not easily distinguishable from further information. In this case you may want to skip the reference section in favour for the resource list.

This may be information on the internet provided by the resource or information in the team's information systems. Anything the reader of the resource might want to know, may be listed here.
