Events are items that are added to your calendar where attendance, communion, and offering records can be attached to. For this reason, in order to record attendance for any church-wide events at your church, you must first record these items as events on the Events Calendar view.
To add a new event,
1. Click the icon to go to Events. The default view for Events is the Event Calendar view.
2. Click the “New” button at the top of the page or click on a date on the calendar view.
3. In the Add Event window, enter the title of your event.
4. Add at least one calendar to assign to this event by clicking the "Select a calendar" field, start typing in the calendar name, and selecting the calendar from the drop-down.
5. If applicable, add a location.
6. If applicable, edit the starting and ending date and time. If the event is an all-day event, check the box to remove the time fields.
7. If this is a repeating event, check the box to mark it as such. Selecting this option will reveal additional information to be completed about how often the event occurs.
- Use the two drop-down menus to select how often this event should repeat.
- Selecting a monthly repeating event, users can add multiple days or days of the week by clicking on the green plus sign to add a new instance.
- Under the frequency, users can click to add an ending, if applicable.
8. If applicable, add a description.
9. Check the appropriate boxes to mark the event as taking attendance, serving communion, or taking offerings.
10. Click the “Add” button to confirm your event.
