After you add a scheduled program, you can schedule program events. You cannot schedule events for a daily admission program. Each event you schedule inherits default information defined on the program. These defaults can be changed on the event if different from the program. When you schedule a new event, you enter a name and description, select a location, and set capacity. You also define the event start times, duration, and recurrence settings.
Note: The sales methods and ticket on-sale availability for an event are initially determined by the defaults defined for the program. After you add an event, you can change the default sales methods and on-sale time period. For more information, see Edit Program Events.
With date recurrence settings, you can schedule program events to occur on a single date, or every day, weekly, or monthly. Depending on the date recurrence setting you select, you enter additional information to control when the event occurs. For example, if you select Monthly, you also select start and end dates, as well as select a day that the event occurs each month or specify the number of months that pass between each recurrence.
When you schedule events, you also enter start times for each. You can enter start times manually per day or by pattern. If you have only a few events, you can enter the start times manually. However, if you need to schedule events that have regular, frequent start times throughout the day, it is more efficient to enter start times by pattern. For example, you can quickly schedule a daily event to occur every 15 minutes.
Most events you schedule will have a single location. However, if needed, you can schedule events that span multiple locations. For example, you may have a large lecture hall that is partitioned so the space can be used for two smaller lectures or one large lecture. If needed, you can schedule the event to span both lecture hall locations if additional space is required.
Some events may also require the use of certain resources, such as supplies, equipment, or a staff member. When you schedule events, you can also indicate what resources are needed, and how many are needed.
