Troubleshoot applying bulk actions to events

If you're having a problem applying bulk actions to multiple events in the Trumba editing environment, check the list below. (See also How to update several events at the same time.)

I got an error message that one or more events could not be deleted

You can only delete events that are owned by calendars to which you have edit rights. (See What you can do with a shared calendar.)

You still may be able to prevent the selected events from showing with the displayed calendar:

  • If the events are owned by a calendar that is mixed in to the displayed calendar, you can clear that calendar's check box on the calendar list to prevent its events from showing with the displayed calendar. (See View and edit calendars.)
  • If the events are set to Also show on the displayed calendar, you can remove the events. (See How to remove an event.)

You cannot delete events that have registered attendees. Depending on your accounts privileges you may be able to delete the events from the Event Edit form.

I got an error message that one or more events could not be removed

There are two reasons you might not be able to remove events:

  • You can't remove events from displaying with their owning calendars. You have to instead either delete the events or change their owning calendar.
  • You may be trying to remove events that are owned by a calendar that is mixed in to the displayed calendar.

    In this case, you can clear the mixed-in calendar's check box on the calendar list to prevent its events from showing with the displayed calendar. (See View and edit calendars.)

I got an error message that one or more events could not be moved

You can only move events from (or to) calendars to which you have edit rights. (See Move events and What you can do with a shared calendar.)

I got an error message that one or more events could not be cancelled

You can only cancel events that are owned by calendars to which you have edit rights. (See How to cancel and uncancel events and What you can do with a shared calendar.)

Note To cancel an individual event, open the add/edit event form, and then in the When area, select the Cancelled checkbox. (See How to cancel and uncancel events.)

I got an error message that events could not be uncancelled

There are two reasons you might not be able to uncancel events:

I got an error message that events could not be shifted

You can only shift start times for events that are owned by calendars to which you have edit rights. (See How to update several events at the same time and What you can do with a shared calendar.)

I got an error message that events could not be added

You can only add events (to other calendars) that are owned by calendars to which you have edit rights. (See What you can do with a shared calendar.)

I got an error message that events could not be approved

You can approve events only on calendars that are set up for publicly-submitted events and to which you have edit rights.

  • You may be trying to approve events on a calendar to which you don't have edit rights.
  • You may be trying to approve events on a calendar that is not set up for event submission.

    Note To hide events from a mixed-in calendar that is not set up for event submission, so that it isn't included when you try to approve submissions, clear that calendar's check box on the calendar list. (See View and edit calendars.)

How do I set up calendars for event submission?

I got a message that says events were removed but I still see them on the displayed calendar

The events you removed are owned by a calendar that is mixed in to the displayed calendar. Therefore, they still show up on the mixed-in calendar. To hide mixed-in events, clear the mixed-in calendar's check box in the calendar list. (See View and edit calendars.)

In List view, I selected All and deleted but there are still events on my calendar

If you have a large number of events on your calendar, they won't all display in one list. Use the navigation arrows at the top of the calendar to view more events, and then delete or remove the events.
