How to Manage Your Family Calendar

Have a busy family? Well Podz is here to help! Check out this video to learn how to import events, set attendees, send out invites and more. Note that that this is a "family" pod that uses the Calendar view.
Video Note: I created this before I renamed the app Podz (it was formerly ModPod). So the video references ModPod (but the interface is the same). I will create a new video with Podz soon.

Don't have time to watch the video? Here is a check list

  • For families, use the Family pod type and keep the default Calendar home page view.
  • To get you started, go to the More... tab, select Synchronize calendar (allow access to your calendar when prompted), and import your calendar(s). Make sure you assign yourself or others to the appointments/events you import.  The default time range is the next two weeks, but you can import all of last year's and next year's events!
  • When creating events, if you enter a place name and press the search icon, it will get you the exact address (make sure you allow using your location when prompted - Podz only uses your location to get the closest matching location - e.g., type starbucks and search, and it will show you the closest starbucks).
  • If you use a location often, press the Save to My Places link after entering, then it will autofill when you start typing it next time.
  • Be sure to use the reminders to send out reminders of the events.
  • When viewing an event, you can press the share icon (it's a vertical arrow at top) and send either an event announcement or an RSVP
  • When in the Calendar View Home page, you can swipe left and right on a day to go to the prior day or next day.
  • In Calendar View Home page, there are icons for hourly view, monthly view and also links at the top to see Upcoming Events and to search for events.
