Event Fields


The table below lists and describes the fields used to configure an event.

Field

Description

Name

Type the name of the event.

If you want to show the time of the event, include the time as part of the name of the event when you type it in the Name field (for example, type “2nd Sunday Mass Meeting 11am”).

Event Time

Do one of the following:

       Check None if no time is assigned to the event.

       Deselect the None checkbox if the event has a scheduled time, and then type the hour and minutes or select each field and then use the arrow buttons to set the time. To change the time of day, select AM and then type PM or use the arrow buttons to change the time of day to PM. If there is no established time for the event, select the Check For No-Time Event checkbox.

Special Event

Select the checkbox if the event is considered a "special" event.

When you designate an event as a “special event”, the scheduler considers only those ministers who indicate that they are available to serve at special events. See How to View and Change a Member's Ministry Preferences to see how a minister’s availability to serve at special events is set. Throughout the application, a yellow flag icon  identifies any event that you designate as a “special event”.

Sunday Obligation Mass

Select the checkbox to indicate that the event fulfills a minister's Sunday Mass obligation. If the box is checked, the scheduler will not automatically schedule any one minister in more than one Sunday obligation event occurring in the same weekend (Saturday and Sunday).

Event Occurrence

       One Time Event: select the checkbox to indicate the event occurs only once.

       Recurring Event: select the checkbox to indicate the event occurs repeatedly.

Date Range

Specify the starting and ending dates for the event. Either type a date in the field or click the calendar icon  and select a date from the calendar.

       If the event has no end date, select No End Date.

       If the event ends after a certain period, type the number of times the event occurs in the End After field.

       If the event ends by a certain date, type the date or click the calendar icon  and select the end date.

You can enter a date range of no more than one year.
