Adding an Event

The process for creating a new event to the Campaign Calendar is started by clicking on the day you want the event to appear or by clicking on the button.

A new window will appear into which the details of the event are entered.

The basic information about the event and the venue are entered here.

• Title of the event;
• The event date (which is pre-populated when you click on the day; when you click on the button it populates with the current date);
• The start and end time of the event;
• The event's description;
• Name and address of the venue;
• Website or email of the venue;
• Directions to the venue; and
• The name, phone number, and email address for a contact person for the event (if applicable).

webElect.net also allows the campaign to limit who can see each event.

Finally, the campaign staffer adding the event to the calendar can opt to make the event able to appear on the candidate's campaign website. webElect.net can provide the campaign's webmaster with the necessary code to access the database and to load the events onto the website's calendar.

NOTE: The system is not yet set up to allow for multiple-day events. When events run more than one day, the campaign has to enter them as an event each day. We are planning to upgrade this feature.
