6.7 Feed - Events

The "Feed-Events" block can pull information from UNG's Master Calendar system and display it on a webpage.

How to Request an Events Feed

To use this block, contact the webteam via ServiceNow (login required) to discuss the steps needed, as they vary from case to case and require coordination with those entering events. You will need to have your events already input into Master Calendar, in addition to other steps, before the webteam can create a feed. 

Example
