    You can also add existing events to the Event List using a SavedList.

    • Display a record in full, and then click Select Record to add just this record to the Event List.

    The records in the Event List will still be there if you switch to another module (e.g. Cataloguing or Circulation) and then back to Events again.

    If there are already events in the Event List, you can also right-click anywhere in a row, and then click Add to List.

    Postpone an event in the Event List

    This feature requires server version 10.9 or higher.  

    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.

    To postpone events:

    1. Select the event/s to be postponed in the Event List.
    2. Click the Postpone button in the action bar, or right-click and Postpone.

    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.

    If the event goes on to be cancelled, those who have registered will be notified with an Event Cancellation notice.

    Re-approving a postponed event

    To re-approve an event that has been postponed, select the event in the Event List and click the Approve button.  

    Close/open an event in the Event List

Staff can still add registrations manually if they wish. You can use Open Event to re-open registration for a closed event.

    Closing an event does not close the sessions. You’ll only see the option to Close Event if: 

    • The event has been approved,
    • Registration required is selected, and
