Summary: Effortlessly print your events calendar from ChMS People with this straightforward guide. Learn how to create hard copies of your calendar for easy reference, bulletin boards, or meetings. This article provides step-by-step instructions to ensure your printed calendar accurately reflects your upcoming events and helps you enhance communication within your congregation.
Before You Begin
Automatic Formatting: ChMS People automatically reformats your browser page to make documents fit well on standard paper, removing any extra navigation menus during the printing process.
Limitations: Printing a full calendar year at a time is not currently available.
Need Advanced Features? If you need advanced printing features like custom date ranges, font adjustments, or color changes, try syncing your ChMS People calendar with an external calendar (like Google Calendar) and printing from there.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Printing Your Calendar
Click on Events in your top navigation menu.
Choose the specific calendar view that you'd like to print: Month, Week, Day, or List (by Month, Week, or Day).
Click the gear icon located next to "Add Event" in the top right corner.
Click Print from the dropdown list.
View Options & Best Practices
Check out these examples and tips for the different calendar views you can print! (Note: Visual examples of the Monthly, Weekly, Daily, and List views will display here in your live help center).
Monthly View Tips & Tricks
Orientation: Print in landscape mode for the best results and larger fonts.
Character Limits: The event name will get cut off after a certain number of characters to fit the grid.
Events without a specific start time will display roughly 30 characters.
Events with a start time will display roughly 22-27 characters (because the time takes up space on the line).
Scaling: If your events are taking up too much space or getting cut off too soon, open your printer's "More Settings" menu and reduce the scale of the document. This shrinks the calendar slightly, allowing more characters to show up.
Overflowing Events: If you have so many events that the month view must print on multiple pages, the system will automatically move an entire week to the next page rather than awkwardly cutting a week in half.
Need More Details?: The Monthly grid view only shows the event name and start time. If you need details like the location or end time printed, try printing a List View instead!
