How to add an event

Who can see events?

All logged in users can see all events.

Visitors who are not logged in cannot see events tagged as Private, Boardrom Private or Unit Private.

If you create an internal event and would like external users NOT to be able to see an event, then please make sure you do categorise it as Private. You can use more than one category for an event. 

To add an event

1. In the left sidebar click Create Content
2. Choose Event
3. Fill in the Start date and time
4. Fill in the End date and time (essential)
5. Give the event a descriptive Title – this is important because it is what people see first.
6. Choose an Event category from the list
   • You must choose at least one.
   • You can choose more than one by holding down the CTRL key and clicking each category that is appropriate
   • If the event is private within
     the Unit please choose Boardroom Private or Unit Private as one of
     your categories
7. Add your Business Name
8. Add the Contact person's name
9. Complete the Body section with all the rest of the details of the event including, e.g., venue, speaker, and pictures, price, weblinks or email addresses for more information or bookings.
10. Click Preview if you wish to view what the event will look like
11. When ready, click Submit
