Event Descriptions
All EventsLink products allow you to include HTML, Links, JavaScript, Flash, images, Cascading Style Sheets and more to your events so they are as informative as possible and attention getting.
|
Event Wizard
A flexible, simple, yet powerful tool to add, edit, or delete events. You do not need to know anything special about computers to add events. This tool is intuitive enough so that anyone can jump on and start adding or requesting events, which is the goal! However, for those techies out there who like to really jazz up their website, this tool will allow you to include special formatting, images, sound, movies, and just about anything else you'd like to make your events informational and eye catching!
|
Multi-User Access
Anyone may see your online calendar of events unless you choose to password protect it. Additionally, several people may be logged in and viewing reports, requesting events, etc. at the same time.

Event Approval Process
Allows registered users to request events; those events must be approved before they are posted to the Calendar. Unapproved events are not displayed on the calendar but available in either the 'Pending' or 'Held' section for the Event Admin to approve. A notification will be sent to the Event Admin and other applicable staff when an event is requested. This saves time for staff, makes events more informative, and creates a review process.
|
User Approval Process
You have the option to approve every new user who registers with your online calendar before they may request events. You may set this option on the Preferences page in the Admin area.
|
Integration
You have spent a lot of time and resources making your website look professional and present a positive image of your organization. Your Calendar of Events page should match that standard and look like it belongs with the rest of your website or Intranet. EventsLink enables you to make your calendar look and feel like the rest of your web space by allowing you to add your styles, images, sounds, movies, etc. to your EventsLink calendar.
|
Locations
Every version of EventsLink gives you the option of providing the location where an event will take place. Locations may be on-site or off-site, a conference room, a ball field, or any address you provide. The Event Manager product adds the ability to book a location, prevent double bookings, and provide detailed descriptions of facilities and floor plans.

No Limits
Sometimes it is difficult to get price quotes for software. You have to know how many users, how many events, how many resources, how many rooms or buildings... that can be a headache. Call us crazy but we don't like counting those things, either. That is why EventsLink offers unlimited users, events, resources, and locations.
|
Resources
To put it simply, a resource may be anything you want it to be; it is an item tracked by EventsLink. A resource may be a projector, a disk jockey, or a request for assistance. Users may easily see detailed information for each resource should they have questions or need more information, like points of contact.
|
Reminders
Registered users may receive automatic e-mail reminders for events in which they are interested. Users may select to receive two reminders for each event from 2 weeks to 15 minutes ahead of the event.
|
Event Reports
Each version of EventsLink allows you to print reports of events. From CALENDAR LITE where you can print an event bulletin for a newsletter to a worksheet in Event Manager that includes everything various staff members need to insure events occur smoothly.

Setup Instructions
Many events require special needs, from furniture arrangements to equipment setup and more. You can easily add these instructions or other event related notes in EventsLink. These instructions will then be printed on reports to be given to staff when setting up the event.
|
E-Mail Notifications
When a new event is requested, or an event change is requested, you will automatically receive an email notifying you of the requested event. The user who requested the event will also receive an e-mail with the details of their request as a receipt. EventsLink Event Manager will also optionally send e-mails to those in charge of requested locations, resources, and service orders.
|
User Roles
EventsLink is not an all or nothing Event Management solution. You choose who can request events, who can approve (or add) events, who can alter the look and feel, and more. Most products only have one user type, the type that adds events to the calendar. EventsLink has several to insure events are approved, people are informed, and your online calendar is secure.
|
Repeat Events
Events may repeat in lots of different ways, every day, quarterly, yearly, every other Tuesday and Thursday, etc. The Add Event Wizard supports them all.

Multiple Views
There is a graphical and list version of the Month, Week, Day, and Event Detail views. In addition, you can display events on your website, see the examples page for screenshots.
|
Personal Events
To plan a day people sometimes have to go to their organization's website, their PDA, and a desktop program like Microsoft Outlook... that is a lot of effort to see if you are available for lunch! You can optionally give your members the ability to add their personal events to your online calendar. Personal events are private and may only be viewed by the individual who entered them when they are logged in; they are hidden from all other members. Now they need only look in one place to easily see if their dentist appointment will conflict with a meeting.
|
Highlight Events
No matter the size of your organization you may have a lot of events. In fact, the more events you put online the more informed everyone is and it helps your search engine ranking. The Event Highlights feature provides a way to not overwhelm those viewing your calendar by only showing the most important events on one calendar. Users can then choose to display all events or only events for the group in which they are interested. Any event in any group (except personal events) may be highlighted. In your EventsLink preferences you can set your calendar to default to show highlighted events first or to show all events. View the Highlight Events Tutorial.
