Defining Events                                                                                        Continue tour >>

SmartRoster uses the term Event to mean a series of meetings (for a Church, this could be Mass or a Worship Service) with the same role requirements, occurring on arbitrary dates and/or according to a regular pattern of dates. For example, Sunday 10AM Service may be an event that occurs every Sunday and needs a Speaker, Leader, 2xSingers, Organist and 2xUshers. Sunday AM Service on 3rd March 2007 10:00am is one instance or occurrence of the Event Sunday AM Service.

A new event is created in the Edit Event window.

A single Event can have one or more regular repeating patterns, and one or more adhoc dates. Patterns and adhoc dates can also be excluded from the event definition by selecting Exclude when defining a pattern or adhoc date.

SmartRoster gives almost complete flexibility in how you define your events.

Event Roles

An event is defined as a repeating sequence of meetings that have the same Role requirements. These role requirements are defined by clicking the Roles button (or by adding Events into the "Applies to Event" box in the main Roles panel).
