How do I create an Event for my Group

A group manager will have the ability create an event for their group, whether it is Training or a Match, for their members to be notified about directly on the App. 


You can create an event in one of two ways. When viewing a Group, there will be a tab titled Events where you can see scheduled events for that group. There will be a Create event button you can click to begin creating an event. Alternatively, you can also click the Events button at the bottom of the screen. In the events section, you will be brought to a calendar where you can see past and future events scheduled. To add an event, click the blue button at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. 

When adding an Event, the new Event menu will appear on Screen. You will be required to populate the details of your event to let your group members know what the event is, where and when it will take place along with a description.

The initial details you will add are as follows;

Event Name: This will be visible on the notification and calendar within the App. This should give the member an idea of what the event is about before reading a description
Category: You will be able to choose between Training, Competition or Social for your Event category.
Description: A brief summary of what event is for. A Group Manager can provide additional detail to training that will take place, what opposition their team are facing in competition or the details of a Social event etc. 


When selecting members to invite, all group members will be invited by default. However, you will be able to deselect any member if you wish to only invite certain members in the group. If you amend the list, click the Done button to save it. Below this you will also be able to activate whether you want other member in the group to be able to see each others responses.


When you are adding an event, you can set the frequency of how often it will take place. If the event is a regular training session for example, you’ll be able to set it to daily, weekly or Every 2 weeks so it is continually created and sent to members on the App. If it is a once off event, you can choose Does not repeat.

The Start Date and End Date will be required for any event that is created. A once off event that does not repeat will have the same end date while a recurring event will require an end date for the period the recurring event is to be scheduled. You will also need to add times for when the event takes place.

You will need to add a location for where the event is taking place. You can input the location and the App will return suggestions based on your input. These suggestions will be linked directly to Google maps so that you can pinpoit the exact location.

An optional feature for setting up an event is a RSVP Deadline Management. You will be set a response cut-off that will send pre-set reminders to members who have yet to respond. You can also set a deadline for responses for all members if an event is time sensitive to confirm attendance.  

Once you have inputted the details required for your event, you can click Add to save the event and publish it to your group

All group members selected will be invited to the event, with the members receiving push notification on their device. The created event will now also appear on your home page under upcoming events, your events list in the events tab and in the Group details.
