Creating an event is a multi-step process. Event templates enable you to save time, by starting out with pre-filled steps and fields for events of specific types.
When Creating an Event, you start with a list of available templates. (Your admin may enable or disable the Blank Event Template.)
Platform admins can create templates for admin use, and for use by all group officers. As a group officer, you can also create templates, for use only by your group.
To create a template, follow the steps to create a new event. Start with the appropriate platform-wide template, or use a blank template if available.
Note: If there is an existing event you want to save as a template, find it in the Events list and duplicate it. Then edit the event and save it as a template as described below.
Complete all required fields, including event name, organizer, date and time. Add any other optional details that will apply to events that will use this template, such as tags, photo, registration options, access, etc.
Scroll down to Step 8: Advanced Options, and open Event template. Choose For this group. (If you have platform admin permission you’ll also see the Platform-wide option.)
Create the event.
The event is not added to the Events list; it is added to the Event Templates list.
When you next create an event, the template will be listed under Group Templates.
