Creating a Google Account and Google Calendar

1. In order to use the Google Calendar in Lumens, you will need to have a Google Account. Navigate to http://www.google.com and click

on the “Sign In” link.

2. If you already have an account, you can log-in from this screen. If you do not have a Google Account, you can create one for free by

following the Create an account link.

3. Once you are logged into Google, search for or navigate to the Calendar link.

4. Once logged in, on the left side of the screen you should see an image as displayed below. The marked calendar (Augusoft) is the default

calendar created automatically by Google. We suggest that you do not use the default calendar for your Lumens import. You will have the

option of creating additional calendars.

5. To create the calendar your classes will display in, click on the Add link under the My calendars section (not the Other calendars

section), to create a new calendar. You should see a screen that looks like the image displayed below.

Calendar Name: The name you provide will display on your web site, so enter a relevant name.
Description: Enter a description for the calendar.
Location: Enter the location.
Calendar Time Zone: It’s important to select Central Time, otherwise the times of your classes will not display properly. The Lumens server is based in Minnesota. Your site is configured based on your school’s location in relation to CST. The export file will make this calculation automatically.
Make this calendar public: Check the box to make the calendar public.
Do not change or edit the Share link.

6. Click on the Create Calendar button. You will receive a warning screen pop-up because you’re choosing to make the calendar public,

and Google is usually used as a personalized portal.

7. Click Yes.
