Below is a series of screens that show how each tab may be filled out. The content in each screen is fully dependent on how each category has been set up. - Event Tab
(A) Event Times: The default time frame is 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. To change this to an evening event, start by changing the end time.
(B) Event Type: Always leave this at Normal when first setting up the event. Later, you may change it to recurring if pertinent. The steps for this come later.
(C) Event Category/Color- Event Category: Adding a category here will allow you to filter on that category when viewing your Event Planning Calendar.
- Color: If you want to color code certain events so they stick out more on the Event Calendar, you may select a different color.
- Facility Tab: All of these options are added through Setup → Rooms
(A) Rooms: When you select a room here, it will display as locked when you go to add a new event for the same timeframe in a new event.- Notice how in this example the Gallery has a lock icon showing it is locked and cannot be used for this event.
- The Gathering Room allows us to mark it with a checkmark, reserving it for this event.
