But what is an event?
An event could be for example an event, a seminar, a party, an information day etc. where you can invite students, parents, teachers or employees. All events are presented to participants in their calendar , which is located on the main menu of the Classter under the Dashboard.
Let’s begin
Before we proceed with the main process of creating a new event, let’s take a look at some relevant settings that will help you to organize your events according to your needs
Follow the path : CONFIGURATION > CRM Settings > General Settings > Events Settings > Events Settings
- All Events and Announcements created by Lecturers must be approved before Pupil and Parents can view them If you create new event as Teacher , employee or staff must approve your new event to set visible for parents and students. Εnabling this setting essentially means that if you wish each event will be checked by the person in charge before it is published in the community.
When the settings is active Employee will approve event in Calendar / Event Management
Now is visible in students portal.
When the setting is inactive The teacher creates new event and it is published and visible without restrictions.
- Enable notifications for new events / Announcements
Enabling this setting essentially means that if you wish, the participants you have invited when you create your event will receive a notification on their Classter account.
When this setting is inactive Users doesn’t receives notifications.
- Message Category to be used in events messaging
When in this setting you have selected Push Notification , Teacher marks a new event for parents and chooses to send a message.
Parent receives this notice :
When this setting is inactive the Default Value it gets is the Academic Notification.
- Default Value for events messaging
Τhere are three options in this settings . Υou can choose to send just an Internal Message . You can also send an Internal Message as well as mail . And the third option is to not send anything if you don’t want to.
By selecting internal message each participant will receive a notification of the event on their personal Classter account.
Default Value is Internal Message & Email when you create new event
This means that each participant, apart from the internal message that will receive a notification about the event in his/her personal Classter account, will also receive a personal email.
