Who sees your event

Events posted in Events are visible on the wider internet. If you need something a little more private, you can change it to a more restricted Category when you create the event.

Editing your event

To change the Title, Category, Tags, or Location of the event, edit the Topic Title by clicking on the little pencil at the end of it:

To edit the event details, use the 3 dots in the top right of the event post:

:exclamation: Be aware that all RSVPs will be wiped if you change the date or time of the event

Getting it into people’s Calendars

While people can add the event to their calendars (via the three dots image), this is a step too far for many.

To ‘force’ it into the calendars of others:

  1. Add the meeting / event to your own email calendar via the three dots

  2. Edit this event in your email calendar and add the relevant people

    • you can use the email list from your spokes.nz group (@admins can set this up for you)
    • it is usually better to manage RSVP in spokes.nz, so everyone can see it easily. To do this, make sure you turn off RSVP responses in the Outlook event and ask people to RSVP on the topic.

Calendar(s)

We’ve got a calendar of all SPOKES events, accessible via the Sidebar.

This displays all events across the Forum that you can see and access (including private events).

Other (bespoke) calendars

Topics or Categories can have their own dedicated calendars. This can be helpful for specific use-cases, and requires @admins to help you set it up. If you think it might be helpful for you, request it on this topic.
