Editor’s Picks allows you to tag an event with a specific label so you can easily pull those events into print, newsletters, widgets, and other features. It also promotes the event on your calendar.
There are a few different ways to tag an event as an Editor’s Pick.
Calendar Page
To access this option, you’ll need to be logged in to the calendar as a Manager or Agent. Otherwise, you will not see the Editor’s Picks option.
When viewing your calendar, you’ll see a ribbon icon to the right of the trash can icon. Select the ribbon icon to tag the event as an Editor’s Pick.
