Create an event
Churches have many events throughout the day, week, month, and year. To keep staff and congregants informed about all these events happening on your campuses, create events in Calendar with schedules, rooms, and resources.
You must have event creator permissions or higher to create events in Calendar.
Select the Events page from the top navigation in Calendar.
Select the New dropdown or New event button in the top right.
If you selected New, choose Event from the dropdown.
Important
Only room or resource editors see the New dropdown, as they can also create blockouts.
Enter your event's details in the popup:
Event name: Enter your event's name in the Event name field.
Event owner: Use the dropdown next to the Event name field to choose an event owner. This person receives all communication regarding the event.
Event date: Set a start/end time and date for your event.
To create a recurring event, select a frequency setting from the Does not repeat dropdown. Use the second dropdown that appears to choose whether your recurring event should end on a specific date or after a set number of occurrences.
Tip
Select Custom to add a custom recurrence pattern, such as "Repeat every week on Mondays and Wednesdays."
Check the All-day box if the event spans the entirety of each day in the date range.
Event template: Choose an event template from the dropdown to help keep your settings consistent across similar events.
Calendar: If you have multiple calendars in your organization, choose which calendar this event belongs to.
Public description: Add an event description that appears in iCal feeds and kiosks.
Location: Set your event's location. You can choose one of the campuses from your account settings, set a Custom location, or add a Virtual (link) location.
Church Center: Choose whether the event should be Unpublished, Published, or Featured in Church Center.
Tags: Add applicable tags to your event. If you have required tag groups, you must select a tag from each required group before saving the event.
Select Create to finish creating your event, or select More options to open your event's Overview tab, where you can create additional times in the Schedule section or request rooms and resources.
Once you've created your event, you can find it on your chosen calendar view on the Events page.
If you created the event in a calendar that requires event approval, your event will be highlighted in yellow to denote a pending status. However, if you belong to an approval group that's assigned to the calendar, the event automatically receives event-level approval from that approval group.
