Here are the step-by-step instructions for your team to manage and create school events using the Events module in Content Manager.

📅 Creating and Managing Events

Use the Event Manager to keep your school calendar up to date with holidays, meetings, and student activities.

1. Starting a New Event

• Log in to Content Manager and select Events in the left navigation pane.

• Select the + Add Event button on the top right of the Event Manager.
  
  

• In the dialog that opens, set the Title of your event.

• Select Create Event to open the Event Editor.

• Note: You can change the template and structure in this step if necessary, but it is not required.

2. Filling Out Event Details

Once in the Event Editor, fill out these key fields:

• Start/End Date: Set the specific date and time the event begins and ends.

• All Day Event: Check this if the event occurs all day; this removes the need to select specific times.

• Privacy Level: Choose whether the event is viewable by Public visitors or Staff only.

• Main Content: Use this box to add descriptions, links, or images that will appear when a user clicks the event on your calendar.

3. Saving and Previewing

• Select Save as Draft to save your progress without pushing it live.

• Preview: Select the eye icon on the bottom right of the page to see how the event will look to parents.

4. Publishing to the Live Site

• When you are ready to go live, select the Publish option.

• Scheduled Publishing: You can set a specific date and time for the event to appear on the site.

• Expiry: Select the Expire at checkbox to automatically remove the event from public view once it has passed.

• Select Update (or Publish) to make the event live on your site's calendar page.
