Creating a New Event

When you create an event, you schedule the date and time, assign presenters, define registration requirements, and configure automated e-mail announcements.

Notes:

  • After you create an event, you can edit the event to change any event details.
  • After you have created at least one event, you can create an event using a past event. Using a past event enables you to reuse many of the existing data fields and avoid entering the information again, especially if the two events are similar.

Creating a new event:

To create a new event, click Create Event. Complete each of the following steps, clicking Next to proceed or Previous if you want to make changes:

1.

Describe the event.

  • You must provide a title, date, time, and duration. Click on the calendar and select the date.
  • Make sure to change the time zone if this event is to take place in time zone that is different from your selected default.
  • Optionally, you can add an art or logo file by clicking Browse and locating a GIF, JPG, BMP, or PNG file on your local drive.
  • You can also enter a custom message describing the event.

2.

Enter Host and Presenters information.

  • The Host creates and manages the event. The presenter conducts the Web and voice conference.
  • If additional fields are needed for the Registration page, ( for example your company's URL ), click "Create Custom Field" and fill out the "Field label" and "Field value" entries. To remove any custom field, click "Remove Custom Field".
  • If the presenter is not the same person as the Host, deselect Same as Host and enter the presenter's name.
  • To assign multiple presenters, click Add Presenter; and enter the required information.

3.

Choose registration requirements.

  • You must require attendees to provide their name and e-mail address.
  • Optionally, you can ask for other company and contact information and create custom registration fields to ask during registration. You can indicate whether responses will be required or optional (ask, but not required).
  • You must indicate whether you want to approve each applicant before they can attend or all attendees will be automatically approved. If you choose to approve each attendee, you must review the registrations and accept or deny each record. See Managing Registrations.
  • If you would like to restrict the size of your event, click on Limit number of attendees, and enter the maximum number of people who can register for the event.

4.

Preview the attendee registration page.

  • Attendees will see this information when they click the registration link. If any information is incorrect, click the Previous button to return to the appropriate page to make corrections.

5.

Enter conference details.

  • Select the Web conferencing features you will use so that the Join e-mail can provide attendees with a link to the appropriate System Check.
  • Indicate if you want to record the event (an additional charge applies, see terms and conditions).
  • Indicate if you will use voice conferencing and provide the access credentials.

6.

Define attendee e-mails.

  • You are responsible for sending the initial invitations by e-mail or another communication tool to announce the event. Suggested text and the registration link are provided for you to copy and paste.
  • You can automatically send a registration approval or denial message and up to three reminders before the event.
  • You can automatically send Thank you for attending and Sorry you missed the event messages after the event.
  • You can receive a summary report of the event by clicking Send e-mail report to Host.
  • To preview an e-mail message, select the message from the pull-down list and click the Preview button.

7.

Review the summary and confirm the event.

When you click Finish, you've created the event! An event page shows the details along with a registration link you can use to announce your event.
