When this is done, you have come a long way!
Now the remaining job is to keep these entries up to date. If new things are planned, add them a soon as possible. The whole family should be able to add stuff - if anything is wrong, or is not visible enough, you can always change things later.
Changes may also occur to the external calendars you have linked in. Someone may start a new activity or change jobs. It is important to get any new information into FamilyBoard as soon as possible so that everyone always has the correct information!
