Hi ride leaders.
Two things I ask you do when creating an event on the calendar.
1. Duplicate the template. DO NOT use the Create New Event option. The website team spent a lot of time designing the template to work the way we need our events to work.
Some people have trouble finding the template. Here is a simple trick; go into the event list in admin mode, clear the two event date fields and click apply. The template pops up.
Edit the template and change the name before saving it. Do not save the template before changing the name.
2. Change Event Organizer Email. This is found under the Emails tab of an event. Many people forget to change this. The default email is eventsupport@crw.org. That sends event related emails not to the actual organizer (who ends up missing these emails) but to the VP of Rides and to Barbara Jacobs.
To change the event email, edit the event and go to the Emails tab. There is a radio button next to Support, Event. Make sure that's selected and click the Change button to the right of that.
A new screen opens with a search field. Enter your last name and you will come up. Select yourself, then save the event.
Doing these two things will make your event listing more effective and you will get important emails regarding your event!
