Creating an Event
The instructions below will walk you through the creation of an event in iModules.
When creating a new event begin as you would normally. Fill out the advanced mode of the content properties, always choose to
Enable Identity Checkpoint for this form and make sure you are using the
****Master Event Template.
Once you hit the create button use the steps below to finish the event creation. Make sure you do not put the name of the event on the page again as it is already the title of the page.
Step 1
In the event description pane enter your welcome message or "You are invited..." text. Hit the return or enter key once.
- For example: All alumnae are cordially invited to this unique networking opportunity!
Step 2
Click on the image manager icon and browse to the folder named event_template_photo. Double-click this folder.
Step 3
Choose a photo from the folder, and then click Properties. Add alt text (a short description) and a long description of the photo. Click the insert button.
It is important to add alt text and a description to maximize the accessibility of the content for users with disabilities.
