If this event will be recurring, select Repeat and select the frequency.

Note: If your event is the 1st and 3rd Monday of the Month, you will need to set up two separate events so that the repeat will work properly.
Be sure to set an end date! Generally speaking, the end date should be May 31 or Aug 31 to match the program year scheduling.

These notes are not shown on the website calendars. They are visible on the desktop or on the SimpleChurch Leaders' App. This gives information to people in charge of set-up or other organizers such as contact details.

Properties control how the event is classified.


Calendar -

• Staff Information - Vacations, Birthdays, anniversaries, Staff Meetings.
• Website - Any information that is shared to website and mobile app
• Z-Not Public

Ministry Focus - These properties are used with the group finder so that people can search for a group by specific categories.

• Care
• Children
• Men's
• Outreach
• Women's
• Worship
• Youth

These 3 sections identify any special needs that the meeting will have. These automatically flag the event with a yellow highlighter so that they can be approved once the details are arranged.
 

Contact Person - Name of person who is in charge of the event. This will place their contact information with the event file.
People - Other people who are involved in the event, or event leader in the case of a large event.

Select the room where the event will be held. If the room is already scheduled for use, it will appear greyed out and will have a blue ? next to it. The system will not allow you to double book an event.
Needed from - these boxes default to Inherit (keep the same times as the event). If your event needs set up time or clean up time, you will need to indicate that here. For example, if you need 1 hour to clean up, be sure to put that time that you will be finished cleaning up in the needed box. This will eliminate having some other group trying to use the room before it is ready.

The church has a 12-passenger van that may be used by ministry leaders if they have received prior authorization. There is also a trailer which can be towed by the van. The van must be scheduled through the calendar.
