Adding an event in Congressus Manager is quite simple. This article explains exactly how to do this and what information you can add when creating an event.
Create a new event
You can create a new event by navigating to ‘Events’ in the Congressus Manager, where you click on the green ‘Add event’ button at the top right. In the overview, you can add the following information about your event:
Event - Here you can name the event and set the category. By default, Congressus creates three categories: Educational, International, and Social. Read more about event categories and how to create your own here.
Date and time - Under ‘Date and time’, you can set the start and end date and time. If your event lasts all day, you can check ‘all day’.
