Creating event types

Creating event types



Whenever you create an event for a child or employee, you have to assign it an event type. This determines the names of the fields that appear when you create an event. You can customise event types in System Settings. 
  1. In the top right, click on  > System Settings.
  2. Click on Events in the sidebar.
  3. Click on the  icon in the top right to add a new event type.
  4. Type in the Name of the event type, and a Description.
  5. Type in the Title Date 1 and Title Date 2. These affect the names of the fields that allow users to pick a date. For example, you may enter "Start Date" and "Due Date". If you leave this blank, the field will not appear.
  6. Check the box next to Reminders/Notifications for the date you want to receive notifications for, if you do.
  7. Fill in the Title Description and Title Notes. These affect the names of the fields that allow users to type in any extra details you may require. If you leave this blank, the field will not appear.
  8. Tick the box next to Employee or Children. If you are eypeople-only, then you cannot use any event types marked only for Children.
  9. Check the box next to Sensitive if you want this event type to be considered sensitive information. If so, only user roles that are assigned access to sensitive information will be able to create or view events of this type. You edit user role access in Global Settings > HR > Employee > Sensitive Information.
  10. Click Save.
