HOWTO: Add a repeating event to your new Cozi account
It’s easy to get started with Cozi, and to add new events to your calendar! Cozi is really great for organizing your family, so it’s best to start off by creating your Cozi account and adding your family members to the Household settings page. Once you have your family members, adding a new event is as easy as typing ‘Visit grandparents from 3 to 4p’
Cozi makes it easy to add calendar events just by describing the event in English!
Advanced TIP:
You can even create the repeating event for Child1 and Child 2 right from the main calendar screen by typing ‘Child1, Child2 Visit grandparents from 3 to 4p every Monday’
TIP: Add online ‘ical’ calendars to your Cozi Calendar
There’s no need to add in all your favorite holidays yourself — chances are that someone has a calendar on the Internet that you can use and have displayed as part of your Cozi calendar. It’s easy! Just go to the Settings page, and choose Calendar options (shown below) or just logon to Cozi and enter http://cozicentral.cozi.com/settings/calendar.aspx in your browser.


From there, you can add either one of the provided Holiday Calendars, add your own calendar, or even look to see if your child’s school publishes their calendar online already, and add it to your family calendar!

There are lots of places online where you can find useful calendars — just search for ical and your favorite term. For example, if you’d like to add your favorite NFL team’s schedule to your Cozi calendar, you can search for NFL ical and choose from the various sites the provide the team schedules in ical format! A great way to get to see when family events and NFL games might just conflict, so you can reschedule that dinner with the in-laws and you could be on your way to familial bliss!
