Getting Started 

 

1. Make sure you are logged into Eventeny.

2. At the top of the homepage, hover over the “Organize” tab and select the event you wish to work with.

 

 

 

3. This is your event dashboard. At the top of the left sidebar, under the "Home" tab, select "Event Information."

 

 

 

 

Setting Up Recurring Event Dates

 

1. This is your event information page. Click the "edit" button towards the top right of the page.

 

 

 

 

2. Scroll down until you see the "Recurring Event" toggle and toggle it to "Yes."

 

 

 

 

3. The toggle should also be a blue color. Go ahead and click "Save" at the bottom of the modal.

 

 

 

 

4. Scroll down past "Cover Picture" until you see the "Event dates" header.

5. Click on "Add your first event date" written in blue text.

 

 

 

 

6. A separate modal will appear asking you to fill out the following:

 

• Title: What is the title of this recurring event date? An example might be Cherry Blossom Day, Art and Crafts, Jazz Concert or simply Your Event Name Pt. 2.
• Start Time: What date/time does this recurring event date start?
• End Time: When does it end?

When you are finished, click "Save."

 

 

 

 

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 if necessary.

 

 

Where Will My Recurring Dates Appear?

 

Only the first recurring date will be visible on your event page followed by the number of recurring dates after that. You can test this out by:

1. On your event dashboard, scroll all the way to the bottom of the left sidebar and select "Preview." You can also do this if you are on the event information page by clicking the blue "Preview now" button.

 

 

 

 

 

2. Directly under the title of your event will be the title of the recurring date, then the date/time itself underneath that.

 

 

 

 

3. If you have multiple recurring dates, you may notice next to the upcoming recurring date there are numbers in parentheses. This is to show visitors of you event page how many recurring events there are and which one they will potentially be attending.

For example, if you have 3 recurring dates and the second one is upcoming, it will display as "(2 of 3 events)."

 

 

 

 

Can My Artists, Vendors & Exhibitors Select One or More Recurring Dates I Have Listed?
