No, you should not do that. Instead, create an event, and as a first step, choose the languages you want to use for the event. For example, tick Finnish and Swedish, and separate text fields for Finnish and Swedish will appear. Time, place, and other such details only need to be filled in once. If you save different language versions as separate events, your event will appear in the wrong language in the calendar's various language versions.

Have you just registered? In that case, you may not have been approved as an organizer or a user yet. The first event you save must also be approved separately by a moderator, but once that’s done, all your following events will be published directly without additional moderator approval. If you’re not approved within a week or so, please contact portal(at)obotnia.fi for assistance.

Another reason might be that you have failed to fill out one of the required fields. In that case, the system will notify you when you try to publish. Click "Publish" and see what error message the system displays (red-marked message at the bottom of the window).

It varies somewhat depending on who your moderator is. If you signed up under an organizer already listed in the calendar, that organizer’s moderator must approve you. If you signed up a new organizer and created a user account in the process, a moderator from your municipality or the Regional Council of Ostrobothnia will need to approve you. This usually happens within a couple of days, but it might take longer over weekends or in the middle of summer. If you're not approved within a week or so, please contact portal(at)obotnia.fi for help.

Our policy is to not register events for different organizers. The reason is that the organizer is responsible for all the information being correct. If the event is submitted by us, the organizer won’t be able to change any information if needed. It's also important that we have accurate contact details for the organizer, which isn’t possible unless the organizer enters the event using their own account. Therefore: Sign up for the events calendar if you haven’t already! If you run into problems, we’re happy to assist you.

Sometimes, multiple parties might decide to add the same event. This could be the event organizer, the venue owner, the ticket seller (eg. Netticket), or even one of the performers. If you find an event in the calendar that you feel has been entered incorrectly, please contact the organizer directly to resolve the matter.

If you've tried to log in multiple times without success, please wait 15 minutes and then try again. Double-check that Caps Lock isn't on. Also, try using a different web browser.

When logged in, go to the dashboard and to “My profile”. There you can update the information for the organization you're submitting events for.

The calendar automatically publishes the contact information of the organizing body. If you want to change or remove the contact information, go to the "Organizers" section in the dashboard and make your changes there.

At the bottom of the event calendar's homepage, there's an RSS link. Using that feature, you can import events – for example, by municipality or category – as an RSS feed to your organization’s website.

The personal data register of the Ostrobothnia Events Calendar only contains the personal information you provided when registering as a user. We require your name and email address (username) because the event organizer is responsible for the event information. You may also enter your phone number if you wish. You can change or delete your personal data at any time. We do not share your data with third parties. Read more in our privacy policy (in Swedish / in Finnish, pdf).
