How to Create an Event (New Dashboard)

1. In your Dashboard, click on 'Events' at the left-hand side of the screen.

2. Click the blue 'New Event' button. The dropdown menu will give you four options.

• RSVP (Free Register via Website): Choose this option if your event is free and you want attendees to register directly on the JRCLS (Bevy) site. 
• RSVP (Free Event - Register Via External Link): Choose this if your event is free but registration is on an external site.
• Paid Event (Register & Pay via Website): Choose this option if you want attendees to register and pay directly through the JRCLS (Bevy) site.
• Paid Event (Register & Pay via External Link): Choose this option if registration/payment will be handled through an external site.

3. You can use AI to generate a title and description, or add them manually. You also have the option to drag and drop images into the description box.

4. Enter the start and end date of your event, including the times for both.

5. Select your event type carefully. This cannot be changed later—if the wrong type is selected, you’ll need to create a new event from the beginning.

Virtual: You have the option use Bevy, zoom, or any other virtual platform you prefer. 

In-Person: Held at a physical location. 

Hybrid: Both virtual and in-person. 

Then put in location details.
