Events with recurring dates

We run a shadow program and it would be super helpful to be able to create one event with multiple date options. That way we don't have to manually enter a large number of dates separately, which makes it time consuming to enter all the details as well as the notifications and reminders.

    I would like to have this option to add multiple dates to one event for scheduling our campus tours/open houses. So I can attach the event to the checklist and the parents would have date options to choose from.

    Hi Kelly - I just read through your case notes and think I have a better understanding of what you're looking for now. It is true we don't have a "recurring" type of option for setting up dates, and each date will have to be created as its own registration option. I will keep this idea open as it may be something we can consider for the future!

    Hi Kelsey,

    I tried to do that and was told it wasn't possible, that is why I suggested it in ideas. Can you walk me through how this is possible? I was just on chat last week and they said it was something I should suggest.

    Hello! Have you checked out the new Events functionality in EMS? It allows you to create one event (ie. Shadow Day) with multiple dates/times that families will be able to choose from when registering. You can tie that admissions event to a checklist step to make it easy for parents to access the registration options. Let me know if that doesn't cover what you're looking for!

    Thanks,
    Kelsey
