Can you give us a bit more detail? Do the locations not appear in the "Locations" box at the bottom left or are you referring to events that have locations scheduled?

Once you entered the timezones, did you re-enable the locations for scheduling?

Sceduled events do not show on calendar

I am having the same, if not similar, issue. I am the Stake Tech Specialist as well as the Building Scheduler for the Stake Center. Our Stake has been using the NEW calendars for about 8 months now and have taken full advantage of the scheduling. In the recent change all of the calendar items that previously were entered are on the calendar, however, I can only see those that are listed within my own Ward and those on the Stake Calendars. If an event is scheduled on a particular date and time using a specific room but is located on a calendar for a ward in which I am not a member I cannot see or edit the event in case of a conflict.

You didn't mention whether you had re-enabled each location since the v2 upgrade. As jdcr256 noted, that needs to be done. I assume that you as STS are an assistant stake clerk, and thus you would be a stake calendar administrator and can go into each location and check specify the time zone and also check the box that allows that location to be scheduled by wards and the stake.

That is clear enough. But can you respond to the very important question as to whether a stake administrator has enabled each location for scheduling? Until that has happened, no one in the stake will see the locations in the "Locations" box, or in any event details.

I am a stake administrator and I edited each of the locations with time zones; saved and then refreshed. Is that what you mean by "enabling" each location?

No, the essential step is to check the box labeled "“This location can be scheduled by Wards and Stakes" for each location (and then save your changes). That is what is meant by "enabling." Sorry my language wasn't more precise.

Perfect...sadly my techo comprehension is very lacking and I never would have thought of checking that box...perhaps knowing that will help you help me with my other 2 problems. Thank you...I appreciate your help and this forum to get our questions answered quickly.

All Locations (including no or other Location) visibility

As stake clerk, in the past, I had been able so see all the calendared events by checking the Location boxes in the "Subscribed Locations" window that was located below the "Subscribed Calendars". Now with v2, I've updated the Locations with the time zone and enabled each of them. However, even though each location is now listed under "Locations", there are no boxes to give me visibility. Now I can only see the stake & my own ward's events. How do I see a Locations events? Also, to be complete, I need to see the "no location" and "other location" events as well.

I'm guessing you are talking about Month view, since this option is still in Week view. See the thread No checkboxes next to locations for a more complete discussion.

No Available Locations

I too, do not have the list of Available Locations listed in the lower left box on the main calendar window. I see " !Available Locations! " in the top of the box with the down arrows to the left, but no buildings listed.

I am the Stake Administrator and I have set time zones as requested.

But did you also check the "This location can be scheduled by Wards and Stakes" check box for each location and then save? That is the essential step for making the locations appear.

On the "Reservations" page, I have one location listed twice, but it is listed only once on the Locations page. How do I remove one of the entries?

Hmm. That's a bit strange. I could imagine it being the other way around, where a location name appears twice in the locations page because there are two locations with the same name, but only one of them is enabled for scheduling, and thus only one of them appears in the Reservations page.

But I'm hard pressed to imagine a scenario where there a single location appears twice on the Reservations page, unless it is some odd display glitch. If it is a display glitch, there's a decent chance that clicking your browser's refresh button on the Reservations page will cause the duplicate location to appear. That's the only idea I can come up with.

Aebrown,
Thank you so much..... At least I can "see" even if it's a little inconvenient on the weekly view. I appreciate the discussion. (By the way, I also vote for enabling it on the monthly as the other thread's discussion suggested.... maybe v3?)
