Events can only currently be accessed via the Alpine version of sheepCRM, which can be found by going to core.sheepcrm.com and logging in with your sheepCRM user credentials.

Click on Events in the top navigation to access the new events section.

Events can be found by two different methods:

Click on the search bar in the top navigation. Start entering the name of the event you are looking for and click on the matching suggested result.

This will bring up a preview window that will show extra information about the result. Click on view event in the preview window to bring up the event box-office page.

Access events by clicking on the option in the top navigation. This will list the events that your account has access to. You can click on the event to bring up the event box-office page. The list of events can be filtered by using the search bar by the title.

Click on the + button in the top right of the navigation.

From the dropdown options click on Add event to bring up the event type selector modal.

Public events are available in sheepApp and include the ability to sell tickets if you have the sheepEvent box office license. Once you have set up a draft public event you can optionally set whether this is a member-only event or a team event as well.

Private events are not accessible through sheepApp. This event type should be used for events that are fully managed by your staff within sheepCRM.

Team session events are tailored to groups with the expectation that members of the related group or team are automatically invited. Events with this event type will create a 'session' for the related teams with attendance lists containing all members in those teams. This is generally used for team-hosted events that don't require tickets, such as 'meet-up' events.

External events should be used when you are looking to manage orders for an event through an alternative platform but still wish to collect data in sheepCRM to reflect sales and attendance etc.

Once the fields are filled in, click on Save to create the event.
​
​Note for Eventbrite users: Those of you using Eventbrite integration, when the integration is live it will automatically create those events in sheep for you. You will just need to activate them to show in the sheepApp.
​

Go to settings.sheepcrm.com and log in to your CRM User account, if not already.

Select the Finance tab from the secondary, white navigation bar.

Select Invoices from the list of options on the right-hand side.

Toggle Self-Service Invoices to Yes.

If you are using a public event or external event you can preview or view your event in sheepApp by clicking the 'View Event' button on the top right of the event details page once you have created the event. You can do this whilst your event is in draft mode. Once the event has been made live, users will also be able to access it from the sheepApp.

In sheep there are two ways to set up tickets both of which serve a different purpose.

Enter a public-facing name for the ticket.

Select from the following options:

Enter the default price and currency of the ticket.
​

By default, the buyer is marked as the attendee for the ticket. However, if this value is higher than 1, additional attendees can be added to the ticket. You can also set this number to zero for an "add-on" ticket with no attendee.

How many tickets should be available for purchase. You can increase this number even when the event is live.

Set this ticket class to only be available to certain segments of your contacts. Useful for creating special priced tickets that only users in a given segment can see and purchase.
​
​**This is a Box Office Pro feature and only available on single use tickets.

Enter a brief public-facing description or summary for the ticket, providing any additional information that buyers should know.

Select the tax rate for the ticket.

If needed, add tags to the ticket type to help organise and sort your ticket types internally.

Set to "yes" if the ticket is only available to active members.

THis ticket won't be available in sheepApp but you as an admin or event manager can assign people this ticket.

Enter a number to control the order shown in sheepEvents. Lower numbers will appear first.

If no sort order is set, it's assumed to be zero, so if you want one always first, you can set it to a negative number.

Optionally, enter an Xero account code for this ticket. This code is used to group similar or frequently used accounts together in your chart of accounts. You can use any code for any account as long as it's unique.

This can be used for things like offering discounts to a select group that you do not wish to be visible in sheepApp and is unavailable/hidden to anyone else.

Enter a unique code in this field on setting up your ticket criteria (code chosen by you e.g. 12345) that needs to be entered by buyers before it will be available for them to purchase.

When a member logs in to view the ticket options for an event through sheepApp all available (public) ticket types will be listed.

They will also be presented with an additional field with the option to enter their Access Code. Once entered and applied, the 'hidden' options become available.

Please take a look at our example below.

View for all:

View once the access code is applied: (Group 2 Discount) is now visible.

Whilst on the Event>select Configure Event to bring up the side panel scroll down to Additional Settings and update as required.

Cannot be disabled once tickets have been sold.
