Create Program

Create New​

Adding a new item to your event schedule is quick and easy.

  • On a large screen: Click the Add new Item button.
  • On a mobile device: Tap the Round + button in the bottom right corner.

Update Existing​

To update an existing item in your schedule, simply select it from the list on the left. This will open its details for editing.

Program Details​

Once you start creating a new item, you will fill in these sections to give attendees all the necessary information.

Image​

Personalize your program item by adding an image. You can use the image picker to upload a new one or select an image you've used before.

Location​

Specify the location for your item. Once created, you can easily reuse it for multiple items in the same event. For extra convenience, include an optional URL that links directly to a map when users tap the location in the app.

For example, here's how to get a Google Maps URL:

  1. On your computer, open Google Maps.
  2. Go to the part of the map you want to share.
  3. In the top left, click the Menu icon.
  4. Select Share.
  5. Click Send a link and then Copy link.
  6. Paste this link into the LocalEvent Location picker as the URL.

Date​

Choose the start day for your program item.

Start Time​

Enter the start time.

End Time​

Indicate the end time. If your item doesn't need a specific end time, you have two simple ways to ensure only the start time shows in the app:

  • Uncheck the box next to the "To" label.
  • Set the End Time to be the same as the Start Time.

Display mode​

There are 4 display-modes, which lets you customize how and where an item is shown:

Default​

Uses the items date for grouping on day

Hidden​

Is not displayed at all

Show on previous day only​

This displays the item on the previous day, and not on the date selected. This could be useful if the program goes past midnight. eg. the program belongs to friday night, but is by default show on saturday since it is past 12. By using this display-mode, you could move it to group with the friday instead.

Show on previous and original​

This is a combination of default and show on previous day. It displays the item on both the previous day and also the date that it originally belongs to. If there are a lot of program after midnight, this might be better than the show on prev option, since the app opens on the current day, and this will make the night events easier to see.

Title​

This is the name of your schedule item.

Description​

Use the What You See Is What You Get(WYSIGM) Editor to write an optional description for your item.
