User/Manager Tip – Calendar Posts and RSVPs
Posted by Shaun Callahan Fri, 15 Feb 2008 18:58:00 GMT
Friday’s are my “User Tip” days and Mondays are my “Manager Tip” days. Since we have a Monday holiday (President’s Day), I thought I would get double duty out of this post by sharing a tip that both users and managers can use.
Adding an event to a Groupsite calendar is quite simple (as long as the Groupsite Manager’s have given members permission to do so).
Here’s how:
Step 1 – Select the “Calendar” tab
Step 2 – Pick the correct month
Step 3 – Click the + sign next to the date
.
.
You will then see the page below where you can enter your event’s name, location (specific street address with city and state will auto-link to Google maps), time as well as provide an optional description if needed.
.
.
Pay special attention to the “Allow RSVP?” field. There are 3 choices:
- “YES” – this will allow members of this Groupsite to post their responses to this Groupsite.
- “NO” – Use this option when all are welcome or to post events that need no RSVP such as holidays.
- “On a separate site” – selecting this option allows you to enter a web address for an RSVP page outside of your Groupsite. This is perfect if you want to let your group know about a local event sponsored by another group.
When you are all done, simply hit the “Submit” button.
That’s it.
RSVP’ing to an event that is already posted is just as easy.
Just select the “Calendar” tab, find the date of the event, click on the event name and enter your response as seen below. You can also add a comment if you like. Then hit submit.
We are a Group Engagement Network and we believe there is no better way to get involved with your group members than actually meeting face-to-face. So go ahead, RSVP “Yes” to a local event and get involved in person.
