Adding an Event

You can either add an event, editing field by field, or you can use the Common Events buttons to fill in some of the fields for you. You would add an event from the beginning if it weren't similar to any of the categories covered by the Common Events buttons.

To add an event, editing field by field:

1. Click on the New button.

   All values currently in the fields are cleared.

2. Fill in the relevant fields to create the event.

3. Click on the Save button to save the new event.

   It appears in the event list.

To use the Common Events buttons to add an event:

1. Click on the button for the event you want to add--for example, Print.

   This fills in certain fields (for example, it puts print on dedicated in the Actions field) and highlights the field or fields that you need to fill in (for example, it highlights the Location field when you click on Print, because you have to specify a program location).

2. Fill in the highlighted field(s). You can also edit other fields, if you like.

3. Click on Save to add the event to the event list.

Most of these Common Events buttons are also available as separate selections in the Events menu. This lets you add one of these events without having to display the entire Event Table. The menu selections, however, prompt you only for the field(s) you must fill in. You cannot edit other fields.

Individual Common Events buttons are discussed throughout the remainder of this guide.

You can also create a new event by editing an existing event; see " Editing an Existing Event".
