# Adding an event to the course agenda

Events can be added to the course *Agenda* in two ways. The simplest and quickest way is simply to click on the relevant date/day/time in the course *Agenda* (choose week or day view to select a specific time or timescale). You can select users who can see the event, add a title and a brief verbal description, and decide whether to also send the event as an announcement/email:

For a more fully configured event entry, however, click the *Add event* icon ![](https://748165138-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LH9CCYPqjHw1VKNcuiq%2F-LH9CGn0ncN_3G09lrQH%2F-LH9Cp4VdIODKCjSvCs_%2Fgraphics262.png?generation=1531327440561088\&alt=media) in the tool-bar. This will open a dialogue page allowing entry of a title and the selection of users, but also a richer description (e.g. using graphics), automatic repeat configuration (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly) and the option to add an attachment (to accompany email announcements).
