Clone This Event - Create a Recurring Event
| Info |
|---|
| Please Note: Cloning an event will create a series of single-day recurring events on the days selected from the calendar. When an event is Cloned, Members can then register for each event that fits their schedule individually, instead of being automatically signed up for every occurrence of the event. |
The Clone This Event to Create a Linked Group of Events allows you to set up recurring events. From here, you may add additional event days. All event information will be carried over to each new event day. These are still Single Day Events where attendees must sign up for each event individually.

Once all information has been populated for the event, navigate to the Event Detail tab, and click Save and Close.
Editing Global Notifications
Only Admins are able to access Site Notifications. Hover over Admin in the left-hand corner of the screen, click on Site Notifications.
Click on the Edit box next to Edit Default Notifications.
Click Registration Received to edit Global Registration Received Notifications.
Edit Default Event Notifications by opening the Click to Edit.
This will open the Editor, with the Default Notifications. Delete the default and type your own, or Add additional content to the Default Notification.
This editor works just like the Editor used throughout the website. You may add plain text, imagery, and hyperlinks.
It is recommended to use Snippets to personalize messages.
Snippet Examples:
##MEMNAME## : this will add the member’s name to the notification
##EVENTTITLE##: this will add the event title name to the notification
Click Save once you’ve added your desired content.
Click Update Notification for the custom notification to update.
Event Manager
The Event Manager allows for management of events that members can register for. Here, you may email event attendees, manage registrations and the wait list. Information on attendees may also be exported for further management offline. The Event Manager allows for one point of entry for all registrations, so there is no need to keep a separate book for registration details.
...
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.
Best Practices
- Using online registration and the Event Manager is an easy way to keep all reservation information in one place. There is no need for offline management when using the system in place on the website. It is also easy to communicate with attendees by using the blast email system on the website.
- If an event is a recurring event, remember to use the Single Day Event but make this a Cloned Linked Group of Events. If the event is added as a Multi-Day Event, then the attendee must go to ALL events.
- Please Note: Cloning an event will create a series of single-day recurring events on the days selected from the calendar. When an event is Cloned, Members can then register for each event that fits their schedule individually, instead of being automatically signed up for every occurrence of the event.
- Customizing notifications on events is a great place to add cross-marketing. This also allows for notifications to be customizable using Snippets or to add additional information that attendees may need to know.
