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 An unpublished event remains visible in the calendar of managers and event managers.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?](/en/docs/events/recurring-events/)).

## 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?](/en/docs/events/registrations/)) |
| **Documents** | Attached files, visible to members |
| **Notifications** | Automatic reminders (see [How do event reminders work?](/en/docs/events/notifications-and-reminders/)) |
| **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.
