Introducing Calendar Items

You asked for a way to input items in your calendar directly.

You asked for a way to setup recurring events such as club meeting days in your calendar, so you wouldn't have to input each on a weekly basis.

And that's exactly what we did! We're happy to introduce the all-new Calendar Items feature. This module allows you to place one off or recurring items on the calendar without the need to create an event.

How do I access Calendar Items?

To access and begin adding items to your calendar, click on the Events tab on the top of the Admin Page and then on the Calendar Items (Recurring) Link.

 

How do I add items to my calendar?

Adding both one at a time as well as recurring events to your calendar is simple. Once on the Manage Calendar Items page:

1) Click on the "Add Calendar Item" button
2) Add your title and description
3) Next, simply fill in the remaining fields such as start date, end date, address, etc.

For recurring events, simply select "Recurring" as your option under the "Recurrence" section, and then select how often you want the event to appear on your calendar. That's it! It's that simple.

For detailed instructions, please refer to the following help article. This was just one of the many features you've suggested
that we're working to add. There are still a lot more on the way! Please continue to send us your suggestions at feedback@clubrunner.ca.

MyEventunner: Monitor and Track Your Event Registrations Payments.

We know that it's important for your event committee to monitor the status and success of your upcoming events. With that in mind, MyEventRunner now provides a report just to monitor event registration payments.

The Event Registration Payments Report allows event administrators to search confirmed member registration records for a specified event by the following parameters:

• First name
• Last name
• Registration number

Also, filter the search results by either the all, paid or unpaid payment status. The results of this generated report can be exported into an Excel or PDF file. Lastly, send a reminder notice to all unpaid members from this screen to make following up with registrants quick and easy.

Stay tuned for more information about MyEventRunner and how it can help you make event registration easy!

Week 37: Tip of the Week

#37: Did you know that you can use the EventPlanner to get members to volunteer for your new committee structure?

Use the Volunteer Tasks sub-module within EventPlanner to create each committee as a Task, and each subcommittee as a subtask. You can also specifiy how many members are needed per committee. When you’re done putting together your structure, you can issue a Volunteer request to all your members so that they can see the club’s committee structure and who else has joined each committee. Then, they can volunteer online and sign up to join a committee.
