How to add an EVENT
Read this before? Go to Add Event
WHAT: Events appear in the newsletter and on the calendar, where they are color-coded by topic. (Do not use Event for a Class or a Worship Service; they have specialized forms to fill out.)
WHO: All registered users can add an EVENT then edit, delete, or clone it. All Editors can edit any event, no matter who created it.
FIND: The calendar is probably the easiest way to find an event. You can also use the Search box or Recent Posts.
CREATE: After you log in, put your mouse on CREATE ITEMS in the light-blue menu at the top of the page. Choose EVENT from the drop-down items. In the form “Create Event” that appears, you will be asked to enter
- Title
- Date and Time
Next, you will be asked to describe your event with these terms, to help in sorting information.
- Committee (pick the Committee(s) your event belongs to)
- Event Type (classify your event as a meeting, class, workshop, etc.) This determines the color of the event on the calendar.
- Event Sponsor (use only if UUFSM is NOT sponsoring the event)
- Please pick all appropriate ages for the event
Attachments (optional)
- File attachments Click to browse your home computer and attach a file here.
- Attached image Click to add a picture (you can also add a picture with a INSERT PICTURE from the format toolbar in Description). You can either select an image already on the site or browse your home computer to upload a picture. Please give it a name descriptive enough so that other people can figure out what it is.
DESCRIPTION Then, you can describe the event in the text area labeled Description You can type your information directly and format as desired. You can also PASTE from another source, but due to hidden formatting codes in Microsoft Word, this can sometimes lead to unusual results. Don't use CONTROL V; use the Paste icons provided (they look like clipboards).
OPTIONS
- Add a link to a website Click to add a Link to another website. You will have the option of selecting a LINK already on the website or of entering a URL. (If you're going to be referring to that website often, you can add a LINK entry for it.)
- Sign Up Settings These are RSVP options. Click to open the box. Select Enabled. Fill out the forms to create a Confirmation Email and a Reminder Email. You will be able to access a list of who has signed up for your event.
Finishing
- Click on SAVE. (Ignore PREVIEW). When you're done, click SAVE. You will see your Event.
- If you want to change something, you can click on EDIT then Save when done.
- If you want to delete the event, click on DELETE then CONFIRM.
- If you want to create another event similar to this one, click on CLONE.
