Overview
The Calendar and the Event Manager provide the ability to announce upcoming events throughout the website, take online registration, and manage registration all from your Clubessential website. The Calendar is a repository for all events and activities, while the Event Manager is an Administrative tool that works in conjunction with the Calendar. Use Case(s) The Calendar and Event Manager are great ways to advertise and manage events at the club. The Calendar can be added as a full view calendar as its own page, or even as a condensed version in the form of a Calendar Plug-in. It is most effective to have an overall Club Calendar that houses all events, while you break out smaller Calendars for each section applicable on the website (example: Golf Calendar, Fitness Calendar, Social Calendar). In addition to the full calendars, many clubs find it useful to add a Calendar Plug-in on the member home page, or other pages, to promote events happening within the next few days. Since the Calendar takes online registration, it is essential to use the Event Manager alongside the calendar to manage registrations when applicable. |

FAQs
Q: I need to create a recurring event, but the event I have created lists all days on the single event.
A: You have probably created a Multi-Day Event by which attendees must attend to ALL event days / times. Instead, create a Single Day Event and add information for the first event. Once you save to continue, the Clone Linked Events option will appear where you may add additional days for the event to occur on.
