Sometimes, you may want to add more events or extend the activity dates within a container. This is helpful if:

  • A new club has been created

  • A previously blocked date is now available

  • A club needs to run on a different day

  • You want to extend certain activities for a few more weeks

This allows you to keep your schedule flexible without creating a new container.

To add more events, go into the relevant container, and follow the steps below:

  1. Click the 'Manage Events' tab
  2. Click 'Create Additional Events'

  3. Expand the filters to search and sort if you're looking for a specific group.
  4. Use the 'Select All' toggle button or individual check boxes to highlight the groups you'd like to add events to.
  5. Click 'Next'

  6. Set the date range you'd like to add more events between
  7. Select the days you'd like to add events for.
  8. Click 'Generate Events' 

  9. A warning message is displayed to confirm that events are being generated, and admins should wait a little while for the new events to be processed.

  10. You will then be able to see the registers in the students/parents/teachers' diaries, and teachers can start to take attendance.

Creating an additional event on a different day of a club

If you'd like to schedule an event on a day other than the club's regular meeting day, select the club and the date range, you will see the option to choose a different day (or days if there are linked days) that the club usually runs on.

To enhance the signup experience and ensure a smooth booking process, we recommend making activity selections using a desktop or laptop, as our app has limited space to show detailed instructions.
