Manage Events > Options
An Event consists of students and faculty meeting (physically or on-line) at a specific location, date, and time. An Event that does meet these criteria should be an All Day Event.
Some fields in the Event are required (*). Other fields are optional and may be excluded from the input screen based on how your System Administrators have configured your system.
If your Event is part of a Linked Event then certain fields will be locked, as those fields are controlled by Linked Event System. These fields will be marked with a red border.
Fore more information about adding new events, refer to this article.
There are many different filter options that can be applied to this report. These filter options will change what is shown to you. The two main filter options are the Category Filter and Event Type Filter. The title of the report will indicate what filter(s) are in use.
This option lets you filter the list of Events by:
- Event Type
- Location
- Category (Deleted, No Students, Mandatory, Conflicts and etc.)
- Theme
- Begin Date
- End Date
- No Students - only show Events that have no student enrollment.
The report will then filter the Events based on your filter settings. The filter status will be displayed in the title of the report.
NOTE: It is possible to select multiple filters that result in no Events being displayed.
NOTE: Using the No Students option will make the report run significantly slower.
This option will make every event in the current course tentative. Students will no longer have access to view tentative events.
This options will remove all tentative flags from every event in the current course.
This option will scan the current course for event conflicts. This can be helpful if you have made changes and you want to make sure the existing conflicts have been resolved.
Edit Event / Copy Event
From the Manage Events screen, you have direct access to edit events, or copy events to "Save as New" whenever you need to create new events that are quite similar to existing events.
- Edit the details of the event: change the event name, type, location, dates, instructor, etc.
- Edit the additional details section of the event: attendance info, attire, and event description.
- Select/De-select the options related to whether this is a repeated event (i.e. this content has been taught before by the same instructor), a tentative event, or you can also delete the event when editing.
- Be sure to Save the event when you are finished editing the different event options.
When you select "Copy" from the Manage Events screen, you'll see a new window with all of the same options as the Event you chose to copy. From this screen, you can update the event name and/or any other options you wish to change. When you click "Save as New", a new event with the selected options will be created.
