Events web part - show categories

NSmith1080 The Events web part shows the Category when you are using the Filmstrip view - but not in the compact view. You do not have to create a new Events list to do this. You can, as you have probably figured out, update the default Category values for the Events list on one or more sites. (To do this, go to the List settings and scroll down to the Category column.) If you use a consistent list of Category values across multiple sites, you can use that category to filter the Events web part and then either use the Filmstrip view (which shows the Category) or use multiple instances of the Events web part to show different categories in different web parts. If you are rolling up from multiple sites, the Filmstrip view will show both the Category AND the name of the source site.
