The Events tab allows your organization and each sub-org to invite users to a service project or to create multiple service opportunities throughout the year. From the Events tab in the lefthand menu:
Select “Create Event”
Enter the event details, including: Title, Photo (this is optional, if you add a photo it will be included in the email invitation), Service Org ( this is also optional), Default Category (how your attendees’ logs will be categorized), Address of the event (optional), Date & Time, Description (optional) and Visibility.
Click 'Continue' to go to the next screen.
Creating Timeslots
If you want to create timeslots for your event, you can do so by clicking “Add Timeslot.”
Enter a name for the timeslot, which will help people know what they’re signing up for. For example, you can have a timeslot called “Check in.”
After naming it, enter start and end times. Note, these are the times for the timeslot itself, not the overall event.
Next, enter the number of volunteers you’d like for that slot and then click the checkmark to save.
Use the same process to create as many timeslots as you need.
Invite Volunteers to the Event
Next you’ll choose who to invite:
You can invite everyone within your organization. Note: If you’re creating the event within a sub-org, selecting “invite everyone” will only include members of that sub-org.
Or you can invite a specific sub-org or user by typing the sub-org/user’s name in the search box. When the correct name appears, select it from the drop down.
Click “Invite” to trigger the email invitations.
You can edit or delete timeslot details at any time using the pencil or “x” icon.
When users sign up for timeslots, you’ll see the total number under the “Signups” column. You can click the number to see who has signed up for that specific slot.
Under Event RSVPs you’ll see a list of the people you’ve invited to your event, and whether they’ve responded as going or not going.
