This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to add or edit an event using the Events Manager feature.
1. Accessing the Events Manager
To begin, navigate to your application's control panel. From there, locate the Events Manager. You can typically find it on the home screen or by searching for "Events Manager" or "Calendar" in the side menu.
2. Adding a New Event
Once you have opened the Events Manager, you will see a blue button labeled "Add Event" on the right side of the screen. Clicking this button will open a panel on the right where you can input the event details.
3. Event Information
Fields marked with a red asterisk are mandatory for creating an event. Other fields are optional.
-
Image: You can add an image to your event at the top of the panel.
-
RSVP: If you want attendees to RSVP, you can select the "Require RSVP" option and set a maximum number of participants. This will allow you to track who is attending.
-
Event Title and Time:
-
Event Title: A title for your event is required.
-
Start and End Date: Select the start and end dates for your event. For a one-time event, these dates will be the same. For a recurring event, set the initial start date.
-
Time: Specify the start and end times for your event.
-
All-Day Event: If the event lasts all day, toggle the "All-Day Event" option.
-
Time Zone: Select the appropriate time zone for the event.

4. Categories
The categories section allows you to control who can view certain events. When users enter the Events Manager, they can filter events by category. If your Events Manager is intended for all users, you do not need to assign a category.
5. Repeating Events
If your event is recurring, you can click the "Repeat" button. This will open a set of options where you can define the frequency of the repetition, the start date of the recurrence, and the end date.
6. Location
You must provide a location for the event, especially for in-person events.
