Events & Event Sessions may be postponed, which will trigger an Event/Session Postponed notice to advise any registered attendees that the event or session has been postponed. |
The Postpone action will be available in the Event list for:
Event Type | Where... |
Single-session Events |
...the Event is Approved, and is not complete. |
Multi-Session Events | ...the Event is Approved, and at least one session is not complete. All child sessions that are not complete will be postponed. |

It is advisable to update the event details immediately before or after postponing the event to provide details on the postponement.
Recurring Events cannot be postponed from the Events list. Sessions in a Recurring Event series may be Postponed from the Manage Sessions page. To postpone selected sessions in a Multi-Session event, select those sessions from the Manage Sessions page. |
Postponed events will continue to be displayed at the OPAC, along with any updated details.
Updating a postponed event
Event details may be updated as normal while the event is postponed.
When an Event or Session that was Postponed is re-scheduled and Approved, an Event/Session Details Update notice advising of the new date will be triggered for any registered attendees.
Registrations for postponed sessions
While a session is postponed, OPAC registration will be prevented.
Existing registrations will remain linked to the sessions, and those who have registered will be notified with an Event/Session Details Update notice if the event is re-scheduled and subsequently Approved.
