Adding Calendars on website

Overview:

Adding Live Calendars to your Finalsite website - This article shows you how to integrate Internet calendars so that they will dynamically push events into calendar areas on your website. This includes list and grid calendars, as well as your upcoming events on your homepage.
Live calendars are a one-way dynamic sync to Finalsite. If you cancel or delete a calendar event from your live calendar source you will need to unpublish the event in Finalsite.
Calendar types (standard and live) can't be changed after creation
