Configuring Events
From the Platform, create events with the correct dates and times and/or review and modify existing events:
- Add any rooms and groups to the event that leverage Check-In Kiosk and/or Classroom Manager on the Rooms & Groups tab.
- Ensure the events have Allow Check-in set to Yes.
Tip: Create your first event of the series and add all your rooms and groups on the Rooms & Groups tab. Then, copy your event for the appropriate recurrence. Be sure to also copy the Rooms & Group tab.
Need to update your rooms and groups, but you already created your Event Series? No problem! Use the Event Rooms & Groups Tool to update rooms and groups changes across the entire series.
