Limitations / Considerations
Recurrances do not work, you will need to add the event multiple times for each recurrance. If you add / want to utilise Upcoming Events in any other section of the site, by default it will connect to the Upcoming Events set up on the home page. If you want to connect to a new / unique list in a different part of the site, you will need to do the following:
- Add "UpcomingEvents" as a new app (under Site contents) in the sub site you require them.
- Fill out the new UpcomingEvents list
- Add "Upcoming Events" web part to the page you require them
- Click Edit Web Part
- Click into Query > then Browse next to " Show items from the following list:"
- Navigate to where you added the new "UpcomingEvents" App and click ok.
- Wait for the page to load and then click "Ok" or "Apply" in the Edit Menu
