Add an event – UPDATED!

Manage events with ease from the Admin Portal.

NEW! We’ve made it easier to add events. Event reference numbers will now be auto-generated unless you choose otherwise.

The table below describes the steps to create an event.

Step	System action	Notes
Log into your Visitor Book Admin Portal.
Go to Events in the menu.	The system opens up the Events page.
Click the Add Event button.	The system opens up the Add Event popup.
Add an event name.		This is an essential field.
Ensure a reference will be added.	A reference will be auto-generated unless you untick the Auto-generate option.	A reference is an essential field. It is a unique number or label that VisitorBook uses to track the event behind the scenes. If needed, it can also be shared with attendees to use to sign in (although a QR code may be better!) If you choose to add your own reference number, the reference must be unique and at least five characters in length.
Select a date and time for the event using the Calendar icon in the Start field.
Set the Duration Type (hours or minutes) and the Duration (based on the set Duration Type).
Finally, click the Add button.	Success! Your event is created and appears in the list of events.	Clicking Add is an essential step. Don’t close or click away from the Add Event popup without doing this!
