Events are anything that you would like to track that is not tied to a weekend. These could be used for special events or services (like Easter and Christmas), weekday services, conferences, Bible studies, and more.

From the profile dropdown in the top right corner, select Admin. Then click Events in the left hand navigation.

After you have named your Event and saved it you might not notice a change just yet. That is because the you must now create NEW services times for the Event. You will need to create new services times even for existing services times.

For example: If you have a Friday service plus your regular Saturday and Sunday services for "Easter 2013" you will want to create a new service time for Friday as well as for your normal Saturday and Sunday services.

To create Service Times, select Service Times from the left hand navigation and then click Create Service Time.

You will create a service time like you normally do selecting the proper Campus, Day of Week, etc. The main difference will be assigning an Event to the Service Time. You do this by selecting your Event from the "Event" drop down.

Once you complete this, additional options will be made available. First, select the appropriate Start and End dates.

Also, if the service is part of your normal weekend schedule (in this example it is because it is Easter) you will want to make sure to check the Include in regular reports? checkbox. This will ensure that this service time will show up on your dashboard, reports, and charts as part of the regular weekend. If left unchecked, it will remain as a standalone event and will not be included in reports.

Pro tip: If you wish to input Event data on a later day, you must extend the Event's end date past the actual end date of the Event. This will ensure that the Service Times are available for inputting data.
