How to Create an Event

• Go to Events > Create Event
• Event name, date and time are the only required fields
• End date and time: enter this information if the event ends at a specific time or lasts for more than one day
• Location Information: enter your event's street address. If you want to include directions, you can use a website link to an online map or resource, or select "use Google Maps" which will auto-generate a link from the street address you provide. You can provide additional instructions or directions in the text box, such as where to park or how to check in.
• Response Information: Select or click yes to enable the following features
• enable guests to reply "maybe"
• require email address and/or company name
• allow additional guests on the event response form, up to 12 guests
• ask up to 2 multiple choice questions, such as meal choice
• a comments box appears by default on the RSVP form. The instructions you type here will appear above the comments box. E.g. Do you have any dietary restrictions? If you leave this box blank, the default text respondents will see is "Additional Comments."
• Provide a confirmation message that will appear after the guest's response has been recorded. Different messages can be provided for yes, no and maybe responses.
• Receive an email notice when someone responds (never, every time or once per day). If you choose to receive an email every time, the email will contain the name of the person responding, their response and number of guests attending. If you choose once per day, you'll receive a brief email message that you've received a response, and you will not receive any other email notices if more people RSVP that day.
• RSVP Requirements: You can set the following
• 'RSVP By' date which displays on your invitation
• 'RSVP cutoff date' which prevents people from signing up via your online form on that date
• 'Attendee limit' which counts the total number of registered guests and displays a default "registration closed" message when the limit is reached. You can change the default message by providing your own message.
• Click "Save and Preview" to save and view your event
• Click "Save and Close" to save and return to the Manage Events overview page
