Create an Event

As soon as you hear about an event which sounds interesting, create it in the Newsroom Planner so you do not miss it.

There are two ways of creating an event.

Create the event directly in the calendar for events

Click at Add card at the bottom of the column for the date the event takes place. If you choose to check in Post-it, the event is added to the list and you can later edit it and add more information. This is a quick way to get the event into the calendar without taking too much time for you. If you create it without selecting Post-it, the card is opened and you can fill in more details directly.

Add an Event directly in the calendar.

Create the event from the top menu

You can create an event via the plus icon in the top bar. This choice is good to choose if it is an event that is in the future and you do not want to change the date in your calendar view.

Add an event into the future.

When the event card opens you can add more details about the event. You can also directly add a planning. How you add the Planning is described here.

TIP One tip is to add metadata ( as Story, Topic and Category in the screenshot below) already on the event. Doing so this information follows with both the planning, the assignment and the article automatically.

The look of the cards can differ depending on configuration.

The event will get the unit that you are logged in as by default, but you can share your event with other units, see the highlighted information below.

If you want to share the event with the whole organization you choose this option.

If you just want to share it with one special unit and not the whole organization you choose Add unit instead. To do so you need to belong to more units than one, otherwise you will not be able to choose one more unit.
