How do I create a training session or an event?

To create a training session, open the Calendar, tap Create an event, fill in the name, type, dates and description, place the location on the map, then tap Publish it. Publishing sends an invitation to every club member, who can then reply.

The Create an event button is shown to club managers and event managers.

Create the event

1. Open the Calendar tab and tap Create an event in the action bar.
2. On the Event creation screen, choose Create event/training (“Start from a blank event”). If the club has no events yet, the form opens directly.
3. Enter the Name: it appears in the calendar and in notifications.
4. Choose the Type (training, outing, meeting… depending on the types defined by the club).
5. Choose the Language of the data you enter (description …): members who speak another language will see an automatic translation.
6. Set the Start and End.
7. Write the Description (programme, kit to bring, instructions…).
8. Tap Save.
9. On the map, place the location by clicking on it or with Search address, then tap Save.

You land on the event’s edit menu, with the status “The event is not visible by others people, you have to publish it.”.

Publish the event

In the edit menu, tap Publish it. The event appears in the members’ calendar and they receive an invitation notification and email. If the event is restricted to certain functions, only the members concerned are invited.

To hide it again, tap Unpublish it. An unpublished event remains visible in the calendar of managers and event managers.

Duplicate an existing event

On the Event creation screen, the My future events and My past events sections list the club’s events. Tap one, then:

• Duplicate creates a copy and opens its General page. Remember to change the dates: “Don’t forget to update the dates so that it appears in the correct place in the calendar.”;
• Open shows the event page.

For a training session that comes back every week, use repetition instead (see How do I create a recurring training session?).

Edit the event

On the event page, tap Edit to open the edit menu:

Section	Contents
General	Name, type, Publish event on Canicompet?, language, dates and description
Location	Position on the map
Registrations	Closing time, number of places, functions, paid or pack registration (see How do I manage event registrations?)
Documents	Attached files, visible to members
Notifications	Automatic reminders (see How do event reminders work?)
Repeat event	Creating recurring occurrences

Each page is saved with Save. For a repeated event, the app asks whether the changes should also apply to the upcoming linked events.

Attach documents

1. In the edit menu, open Documents.
2. Tap Add a document, enter its Name and choose the file with Select file.
3. Tap Save.

The documents appear in the Documents section of the event page, for example the course map or an entry form.

Delete an event

In the edit menu, under Danger zone, tap Delete the event and confirm. For a repeated event, the app also offers to delete the upcoming linked events.

Set the club’s defaults

In Manage the club > Setup > Events, a manager sets the values applied to every new event: Default type of your events/workouts (with Add event type to create your own types), Publish events on Canicompet?, Allow non-members to register for events? and the automatic reminders. These values can still be changed on each event.
