  • In the "Event body text" form, provide detailed information about the event and how to get there.

  • Skip the "attendees" field.

  • If you want to enable visitors of the event announcement to leave a comment, click on "Enabled" in the "Allow Discussion on this item" field.

  • To enter the event into the system, press "Save" at the end of the form.

  • Now, your event is in the system, but it is not visible yet to other site visitors. You must submit it for review by clicking "submit" in the "state" dropdown menu:

  • The event will now be reviewed by the Website administrator (this is to avoid spam) and then published.
