Overview
The Event Series feature lets you group and share related events, such as orientation sessions or speaker series, in a unified collection. You'll find a dedicated series main page that lists all of your Event Series, each with its own page. This guide covers those pages and creating, editing, and removing events from a series.
Event Series Main Page
This page is a component of your Events Site and lists all of your public Event Series.
When a public Event Series is created, it will automatically appear on this page.
The URL for this page is your Events Site URL with
/seriesadded at the end. It should look something like this:events.fire.edu/series.
The configurations for this page, which include enabling and customizing the introduction text below the header, are managed in Event Settings.
Add a menu item to your Events Site that directs visitors to your Event Series Page. Explore how to add menu items in our Event Site + Settings article.
Individual Series Page
When you create an event series, a page is automatically created. If the series is public, they will be accessible from the Event Series Main Page and have a unique URL for you to share.
Creating an Event Series
Any event you create in the Events module can be added to a series. So, we recommend creating your individual events before you create your series. You can add events to a series at any point, so if it is easier to create one or two to get started, feel free to do that.
Navigate to Engagement > Events > Event Series.
Click on the plus sign button in the bottom right corner of the page.
Configure the settings for your new series:
Event Series Name: Give your series a descriptive name to include on your Event Series Main Page and your Event Series Page.
Privacy:
Public: Anyone can find it on your Events Site.
Private: Only accessible via a link.
Description: Enter an informative description for your event series.
When you're finished, click Create Event Series. The event series editor will open.
Click Add Photo in the circle within the header to add a photo for the series.
If you're pleased with the series' configurations, you can now add events. This process is explained in the following section.

Editing an Event

Navigate to Engagement > Events > Event Series.
Click on either the name of your Event Series or the pencil icon to open the series editor.
Click the Events tab from the left-hand menu.
Locate the event from the list and click the pencil icon.
Both methods open the same event editor.
