How Can I Manage and Delete Events in Lifeway?
Managing events effectively in Lifeway is pivotal for staying organized. This guide provides actionable steps for deleting old event days and archiving events to streamline the management process.
Deleting Old Event Days
If you need to delete specific days within an event, follow these steps:
Open the Lifeway application and navigate to the event containing the day you wish to delete.
Select and highlight the desired day.
Click the Delete button to remove the selected day.
If you notice that your changes are not immediately reflected, refresh your browser by clicking the reload/refresh button (usually represented by a curved arrow). This action ensures the page updates with the latest changes.
This process applies specifically to event days—not the entire event.
Archiving Events Instead of Deleting
Lifeway does not provide an option to delete entire events. Instead, you can archive events you no longer need. Archiving hides the event from active views without permanently deleting the data, allowing for future reference. Here’s how to archive an event:
Navigate to the Manage Events section in the application.
Locate the event you want to archive from the list.
Select the option to Archive the event.
Archiving is the recommended method to declutter your active event list while preserving important event information for potential future use.
Troubleshooting Tips
If changes (such as the deletion of event days) aren't showing, ensure your browser page is fully refreshed. For optimum results:
Click the reload/refresh button in your browser.
Check your internet connection if changes still aren't visible.
Log out and log back into Lifeway for a complete reset.
