Duplicating Events
Many Chapters have recurring events that happen at the same time every month. For example, a dinner meeting might happen on the first Thursday of each month. While it is not possible to set up events that automatically recur in the calendar, there is a shortcut for adding them to the calendar which avoids the need to create each one individually.
1. Navigate to the Events Administration page by clicking the MX5 tab.
2. Type in the name of the event in the Search box and click the magnifying glass.
3. Find the most recent version of the event that you want to recur. Tick the box on the far left of the screen for this event (next to the "channel 9" logo), then click Copy. This will create a duplicate of that event and open it for editing.
4. Change the Start Date and End Date to the next one in the sequence. Check all other details are correct. Click Complete and Change Status.
5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 for all other future dates required. In this way, a year of a monthly event can be set up within several minutes.
