Exposing the ‘Event’ content type in Sharepoint

By peter.stilgoe

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Go into the ‘List settings’ for an existing calendar on your site

Click on ‘Advanced Settings’ and tick yes for “Allow Management of Content Types”

This then shows the ‘Event’ content type in that calendar’s List Settings.

Click on the word ‘Event’ in the list of content types.

At the top of the next page it tells you that the parent is also called ‘Event’ – click on its link.

The following page tells you that the parent content type is in Group “_Hidden”.

Click on the “Name, Description & Group” link and then it allows you to put the ‘Event’ content type into a new group.
