There are a number of ways to edit individual events with a recurrence or series.
Once you've chosen the...
- COPY TYPE (stand-alone, related, recurrent, series)
- COPY PATTERN (multiple simple copies or copies by schedule)
and
- QUANTITY (number of copies)
you should press SAVE.
After pressing SAVE, you'll land back on your dashboard. Now that we've made copies, the event has a green number icon number next to it, that indicates the total number of events in the set.
If you press that green icon, the individual events within that recurrence will appear in a pop up window to the right. There are various tools to edit specific events within.
If you'd like to edit the name of an event in your set, check the box to the left of the event and press EDIT NAME.
A pop up window will appear. Here, you can amend the name of a singular event, then press SAVE.
The new name will be saved within the recurrence.
You can also amend the date of any specific event within a set. Check the box next to the specific event you want to amend, and click EDIT DATE.
A pop up window will appear, where you can edit the date and time of the specific event. Once corrected, press SAVE.
PLEASE NOTE: When you create a copy of an event, the date is automatically added to each of the 'children.' If you amend the date of an event by utilizing the tool above, this does NOT reflect in the name of the event. You must do that manually. (See below how the name of the event and the date do not match after I've edited the event date)
Another tool you can utilize in this window is the DELETE button. If you want to delete an individual event or multiple events within a set, you can check the box next to each specific event you want removed and then press the trash can icon.
For example, with my event, I've decided I want it to be every other Wednesday, rather than every Wednesday. So I'm going to follow the instructions above to amend that.
PLEASE NOTE: If you delete events that have registrants, you will be required to compose a cancellation email that will automatically be sent to those guests. This is the same process that occurs when you delete stand-alone events.
Once you delete those events, you'll be redirected back to your dashboard, where you can see the number of events has been reduced, commensurate to the amount I chose to delete.
You can also amend individual events within a set by going into the SETUP of the event itself. To do this, click the name of the specific event you want to edit.
At this point, you'll land 'behind-the-scenes' of this event. You can edit anything within this event, exactly like you would in the parent event or a standalone. PLEASE NOTE that any changes made in here will only reflect in this specific event, and will not carry over to the other events in the set.
If you toggle your recurrent event to appear ON in your ZenGRM aggregate events page, the next upcoming event will be the one which displays. There will be a message that says **multiple dates available. When the most recent event date has passed, the next upcoming event in the set will be the one that appears on the general events page.
If a user goes to register for that date, all the other available dates will appear on that registration page also.
