Events

Adding Events

Go to the Dashboard for your group (blue button in the toolbar).
Click the Events tab.
If you are creating a new event, click the blue + Add new. Or you can click on the name of an existing event to edit.
Fill out the form with the relevant information for your event. A title and start date are required. Note: Not all event types are available to every user.
Click Save when finished. You can also click Save and Go to Event for a preview that will open in a new tab.

The default for events is hidden, meaning it won’t be shown on the website.
Click Hidden and change to Live when the event is ready to show.
When creating your event, you have the option to make the event Live straight away.

It’s best practice to add an image to an event. Upload the highest quality, largest size available.
If you don’t have an image, you can always check for shared images in the CMS to add to your event.

Content entered into the summary appears under the title when widgets pull events on to a page
Keep summaries brief and do not repeat them in the body copy, this will duplicate on the event page.

Get the most out of your event by sharing your event with other groups.
Enter other groups who might want to post or link to your event as well.
You can always suggest to the Homepage group as well!
Note that content shared with other groups will need to be approved by that group’s content manager.
