If you want to share an event details page with other users, you can send those users the URL that appears in your browser's address bar when you have an event details page open. Alternatively, you can post the URL on a shared display by adding it as text that is formatted as a hyperlink. However, if you simply copy and paste an event details URL from your address bar, only the required query string parameters are included, so that default options are applied when a user opens the URL. If you want an event details page to open with specific options automatically applied instead of the default options, you can manually add query string parameters to the URL. For example, you can use parameters to automatically hide the side bar so that more screen space is given to the event details data. Refer to the Optional URL Parameters section below for information about the parameters that you can use.
