Getting Started

What are Events?

Events are any planned social occasion. App events typically include community happenings or fitness classes.

Several categories of events can be created. Common event types used in the app include:

Regular events are one-time occurrences, such as an Independence Day celebration.
Recurring Regular events are used for the same events that occur more than once, such as regular fitness classes.
Multiday events are used when events last multiple days, such as photo contests.
Family events allow residents to register their children for a program or have age restrictions, such as a summer camp.

Utilize the Admin to create and edit events, fitness classes, and other activities that are taking place in your community.

Events can be viewed from several app locations: From the Home feed, in the Events or Community Calendar menus, and from List Events Smart Buttons.

To configure, see Create a New Event.

IMPORTANT

Do not set Triggers on every event created. We recommend 3-7 events per Trigger in order to highlight key events on the app Home feed.

Do not set Triggers on recurring events. Recurring events are listed on the Home feed using the first date of the recurrence, which may confuse users.
