How to set up Events in Jostle

Events view is designed to be your company calendar, where all the important, upcoming happenings are posted. When an Event is created, an invitation is sent out to all the invitees and it is added to the Events calendar. If you want, you can make it visible to everyone, so they are aware that the Event is happening.

Enabling Events

If Events does not appear in the Main Nav Panel, it is currently Disabled. System Admins can set Events to any of these three states by going to Admin settings > Views and Functions > Manage Views and Options:

Disabled (Events is not visible or active to anyone)
Staging (Events is visible for Events Admins and System Admins only)
Enabled (Events is visible to everyone)
 
Staging can be used to prepare Events prior to releasing it to your full user base.
Note: Events is a paid option and might not be part of your current Jostle subscription. System Amins can start a free trial of Events at Admin Settings > Views and Functions > Try Other Views and Options.
 

Administration roles for Events

If your organization has a social committee or special events coordinators, then those are the type of people you will want to consider for the following roles:

Events Creator

Events Creators are able to create new Events, including the ability to modify and delete only
events they created. Event Creators are organized by Creator Groups, both of which are managed by Events Managers. To learn more about managing Events View go here

Events Manager

Events Managers "own" Events view and are able to create and manage all Events items (including those authored by Events Creators), edit Creator Groups, and hold overall responsibility for curating the Events view. Event Managers are assigned by System Admins.

System Admins can add a new Events Manager (or make themselves an Events Manager) by: 

  1. Selecting Events from the Main Nav Panel
  2. Clicking on the Action Menu (three dots) in the top right corner.
  3. From the dropdown menu, select View Events Admins
  4. Managers in the left column will already be selected
  5. Search in the person you would like to add
  6. Click Save in the Action Bar at the top
