Using event templates is a great way to guarantee similar events contain consistent information, recurring events are ready for registration in seconds, and minimal time is spent on event creation. Once an event template is created, it can be saved for future use as the basis for a new event.
Warning! Once an event template is created, it cannot be deleted.
Event templates can be managed in the Staff site from Events > Manage templates:
- To edit a template, click the event template Name, then click Edit.
- Click Add new template to create a new event template.
- Questions, program items, registration options, and any other event features can be defined and saved in a template.
- New events created from a template will have default status of Pending.
- When an event is copied, the event questions are copied over and cannot be deleted. This also applies when using a template to create an event that has questions defined. See Adding program items to an event for information on how to hide event questions.
Note: Any changes made to a template will not apply to existing events using the template.
