There are several ways to export events out of BLOX Calendar.
The two easiest ways are to use the Export button at the top of the command bar, next to New Event. That export button allows you to export your events in one of two formats, either CSV or in iCal.
The CSV option lets you choose between exporting the Current search results, or it allows you to pick and choose using the Selected events option. Both choices let you further select UTF-8 encoding, UTF-16 encoding or Windows-1252 encoding.
UTF allows files to be read in multiple languages (other than English). The 8 and 16 are the number of bit-blocks that are used to represent a character.
Windows-1252 is a single-byte character encoding of the Latin alphabet, used by default in the legacy components of Microsoft Windows for English and some other Western languages.
The iCal option is more straight forward. You can choose to either export the Current search results or you can use the Selected events option.
If you are looking to export a listing of events to your print product, you can use the Custom Export function in Application Settings. In order to do this, it is recommended you have template access, have some coding expertise, be familiar with UTL, and know what program you are looking to export it into.
Attached is a basic export script that you can place in the Custom Exports area in Applications Settings. This is a starting point. You can add other pieces by using Object: Events. Additionally, Filters can be used to help refine what you're looking for. You can also submit a ticket to our Customer Support department for custom work, which may incur a cost.
