You have been granted permission by the administrator to submit (and edit) new events.

To identify yourself as an authorized user, you must first log in.

Create a new event:

In all JEM menus, there is (usually) an icon in the top right corner that leads to the "Submit Event" menu.

There is also a "Submit Event" menu item if created by the administrator in the backend.

You will be taken to an "Add Event" page.

At the top, you will find the two buttons "Save" and "Cancel," which you can use to either save or cancel the event you create below.

This is followed by a tab with five tabs: Event, Advanced, Publish, Attachments, More.

'Event' tab: (Basic What, When, Where, Event Description, Image)

Basic: At a minimum, you must select an event title and assign the event (or several) to the categories you are allowed to.

If you save the new event this way, it will always appear as a planned event at the top of the simple list (agenda).

You can, of course, add more information right away or continue by clicking "Edit an event."

You can add the start date, optional end date, start time, and optional end time, as well as the location later.

If you already know these details, you can of course enter them right away. It's recommended to check in advance whether the location has already been created. If necessary, you can select "no location" from the dropdown menu (and add it later).

Now you simply save the whole thing using the button at the top. Everything else is optional!

However, an event description and an image (as an eye-catcher) are usually added.

Once saved, the event appears in the list view of the simple list (and in other locations).

Clicking on the event title takes you to the event's detailed view.

Editing an existing event

Open the simple list and select the event you want to edit by clicking on it. The most recently planned events without a date are at the top.

This takes you to the detailed view of the selected event.

If you have editing rights, you will see two icons (Edit and Copy) behind Event.

If you want to create a new event based on the information you've already entered, select Copy: All the information will already be there. You just need to Edit and Save: You'll then have a new event. (If you don't change anything, you'll have duplicated the event!) Clicking this button will take you to the "N. (Title Name) is being edited" page. This page contains all the information you've already entered. If you want to edit and keep the existing event, select Edit. It's important, however, to click Save after making your changes. Advanced In addition to the 'Event' tab, there are additional tabs that offer more advanced options. (If in doubt, stay on the first tab!) The second tab on the "Advanced" tab opens with a click and offers: Recurrence, Contact Person, Event Registration/Cancellation. Recurrence: There are various rules for recurring events. (From my own experience, I recommend completing the event description first before triggering recurrences!) Contact Person: If Joomla's contact component is enabled, a contact person for the event can be displayed here, with the option of a contact form or an email address/phone number. Attachments If permitted by the admin in the backend, posters and flyers, for example, can be made available for users to download here. More There are a maximum of 10 custom fields, which can also be specifically named by the administrator. For events, the first field is "with" by default, which appears directly after the title, so that the performers can be listed here, for example (e.g., Entertainment Evening with "Alfred Muster"). Renaming of fields must be coordinated with the administrator!
