Help on editing events		Organising people & events

 At teamyell, events are focused on the questions What, When and Where. Each field is described below:

• Title:
  The title or name of the event.
  The title is displayed in the event calendar view. Try to keep it short (maximum of 32 characters).
   
• Event type:
  This field allows you to categorise your events. You can view your events by event type or all together. When rostering people against events, often it is easier to focus on one event type at a time. You can change the event type on an event at any stage. This field is required.
   
• Starts:
  The date and time that the event will start on. These fields are required.
   
• Ends:
  The date and time that the event will finish. These fields are required.
   
• Physical address:
  The address where the event will be held at. The "Default" button can be used to quickly copy the group's default physical address. The "Find" button will search for the physical address entered and show the Google map. This field is optional.
   
• Notes:
  Any notes you want to keep about the event. This field is optional.
   
• Send email reminders:
  This field allows you to specify whether you want to send email reminders to people before the event. You can specify how long before the event you want the email to go out. Email reminders are sent when:
  1. The event has "Send email reminders" set to say "1 day before" (anything except "No")
  2. There are people rostered onto the event
  3. Some of those people have an email address specified in their profile
  4. Some of those people have "Email reminders" set to Yes in their profile
  5. The 'Reminders' checkbox on the member page 'messages - publish' is checked
  You can view a sample email here.
   
• Send text reminders:
  This field allows you to specify whether you want to send text reminders to people's mobile phones before the event. You can specify how long before the event you want the text reminder to go out. Text reminders are sent when:
  1. The event has "Send text reminders" set to say "1 hour before" (anything except "No")
  2. There are people rostered onto the event
  3. Some of those people have a mobile phone number specified in their profile
  4. Some of those people have "Text reminders" set to Yes in their profile
  5. The 'Reminders' checkbox on the member page 'messages - publish' is checked
  6. The group has enough money in its account to pay for the text message. View the balance here.

• Outcome:
  The outcome of the event. For example, whether the game was won or lost.
  This field is only shown for some types of events and some types of groups.
   
• Points for:
  The number of points that your team scored against the opposition in this event.

• Points against:
  The number of points that the opposition scored against your team in this event.

• Google map:
  If the physical address is blank, the map will be hidden.
  
  If the physical address is specified, clicking the "Find" button will update the map to reflect the physical address. Alternatively, you can use the controls on the Google map to move the map to the location you want. Or you can use the cursor to drag the map location around. When you save the event, the current map location will be saved.
