The Add/Edit/Archive page gives you access to the events that you've created, while also allowing you to create new events and archive old events.
Starting on the left hand side, you can see the Search/Filter Tool. This tool allows you to quickly find events that have already been entered in to the system. The following filters are available:
Event Type |
Event Types are predefined classifications for events. They allow you to group similar events together using a common descriptor such as Children's Events, Adult Education Events, Teen Events, ect. |
Date |
This allows you to find all events that begin after a specific date. |
TO |
This allows you to find all events that begin before a specific date. |
Published Events |
This allows you to find events that have been made public within the system. |
Unpublished Events |
This allows you to find events that have not been only partially entered into the system or that have not been approved to be made public within the system. |
Show Ongoing Events |
Some events do not require registration and are largely for informational purposes. An example would be "Black History Month". This filter allows you to include them in your search. |
Combine Recurring Events |
This allows you to combine all meetings of a single event into one record. For example, a weekly poetry reading that lasts 16 weeks would appear as a single event, rather than 16 separate ones. |

Search for events based on a specific word or phrase. |
Moving to the right, you see the following buttons (click on the link for more information):
