Exporting Events
To access the Export tool, go to Sugar Calendar » Tools. Once you’re there, select the Export tab.
In the Export section, you’ll see a list of data you can export. Below, we’ve highlighted the supported data:
- Events
- Custom Fields
- Calendars
- Tickets, Orders and Attendees
The Events checkbox is automatically selected. However, you can choose the ones you’d like to export.
After selecting the ones you’d like to export, click the Export button.
Your events and other data you selected will then be compiled into a JSON file and downloaded to your computer.
Importing Events
To import an event, go to Sugar Calendar » Tools and click on the Import tab.
Then click the Choose File button and select the file from your computer that includes the event(s) you want to import.
Once you’ve chosen a file, click the Import button.
This will import all the data from the JSON file you selected. It’ll show the number of Events, Calendars, and Attendees imported from the file.
When viewing events on your site, the calendars and events you imported will also be added to your event list.
