Creating and Promoting Events For all users, the Events list displays the upcoming events in your portal. This includes events posted by the umbrella and shared to your organization (and vice versa if you are viewing the umbrella portal's Events list). Those events will be identified by an umbrella icon on the left side of the page. The hand icon denotes a service event that has been shared to the portal.
Creating and Promoting Events Creating Events
When and Where When is the event happening? Set the start date and time and determine if its repeating. If your campus uses a room reservation integration then you'll see the additional option to select a room. If you enter an address, OrgSync will automatically generate a Google Maps link that shows people how to get to the event.
Event Image Upload an image for your event! This will display on event list and will make your event more appealing to interested users.
Participants Determine if you want to take RSVPs for the event. You can allow for unlimited RSVPs, a defined number, or none at all. You can also determine who can see the RSVPs.
Who Can See This? Determine who should see the event. If you don't have any restrictions, choose the public option. If you only want org members to attend, choose the option that lists the name of your org. If you want to get really exclusive, choose selected groups and click the checkboxes to determine exactly who should attend.
Calendar Sharing You can request that your event be shared to the campus wide calendar. If you choose this option, you'll likely have to wait for approval by your campus administrators. They have the option to share the event on their umbrella calendar, as well as the community wide calendar (accessible through the community home).
Eventually you can Track Participation
Adding and Organizing Files Administrators can add new files and folders. This option appears on the default Files list but also when viewing a folder s contents, allowing you to place a new item directly into that folder. For each folder, decide a name and who it should be available to. For each file, select the file from your computer, and then choose a name, description, and whom it should be available to.
Adding & Managing Photos The Photos tool allows every organization to store unlimited amounts of photos and albums so you can be remembered in your organization long after you leave. Hover over More along your organization's toolbar and select Photos to access this tool.
