Whether its a community gathering with RSVP's, a group event where attendees are asked to commit to bringing something, or simply a due date for the next payment - Vlge Events feature is available for your community.
Begin by visiting "Events" in the left navigation.
You can view events by the Month, the week, or as a list.
Create an Event
To create an event, select the Create Event button in the upper right (must have permissions set by your role - Admins and Board members have full permissions).
You can save an event as a draft or publish the event.
Key Settings:
Event Type: Select the event type for tracking purposes only. You can add or edit available event types in General Settings.
Start/End Date and Time: Select the date and time for the event to appear on the calendar. This also impacts reminder emails.
Location: Specify where the event will be held and include a link to popular conference services if applicable.
All-Day Event: If you just want to set a date on the calendar to remind members of a payment date or other due date like election nominations, you can select "All-day" instead of a specific time.
Who Can See the Event: Select the whole community, specific groups (see Group Feature separately), or specific members.
Enable RSVP - Leave the default if this is an event to which community members will RSVP. See more on RSVP below.
When events are shown in a "list" the event type is color-coded by event type.
RSVP Details
As the creator of the event (or approved editor), you can add a few additional settings related to RSVP.
Ask for adult & child counts: This feature is useful if the event will be a community event where kids will be present and a feature like a bounce house or ice cream is being served. If you need a count of adults and kids separately, this is very useful.
Show RSVP counts: Choose if you wish to show the running count of RSVP's to everyone on the event page.
Show who RSVP'd: This is even more detailed and on click will show the full detail of the RSVP list such as names etc.
What to Bring
Want to have coordinate what people should bring? With Vlge you can specify the item and quantity and attendees can claim items to bring.
Here's what it looks like when someone RSVPs:
Want to charge for the event?
Vlge can do that. Just select "Charge for this event" and select or create a product.
You will see in the dropdown products created in your associations account. If this is the first event of its kind, you will likely have to create a "product" and add an amount before you can charge for the attendance.
Where do the funds go?
Any funds charged here will go into your community's account as it is setup in the payments settings.
Can I make a web page for the event?
Yes! Once you create the event, you can edit the event and build a custom web page for it. You must create the event here first, then edit it.
Click on your event in the calendar or in the List view, then click the Edit icon.
