If multiple groups are configured in the system, a sharing option is available. To share events go to the ‘Events’ link on the left hand of your screen, then selecting ‘List all’. Visit the relevant event and click ‘Edit details’ from the options at the bottom of the screen. Once you are in the editing section, you will be able to select the ‘Sharing’ tab from the ‘Options’ section. In this tab you will be able to select the groups you wish to share the event with. Selected groups will be able to view and allocate people to the event. Additionally, you will be able to add people from shared groups to the eventGenerally an event is only made available to a single group of people, however larger events (eg. a state-wide meeting, or disaster response) might involve several groups of people.
In this case, a single event can be shared amongst multiple groups of people, allowing managers from each group to roster staff and amend event details as required. This also allows information such as documents, action items, maps and so-forth to be distributed to everyone attending the event, regardless of the group they are part of. Expressions of interest can also be submitted by volunteers from each group in the same way they can for a normal event.
To share an event with other groups, you will need to first edit the event, then select the groups to share it with in the 'Sharing' tab. Once saved, the event will automatically appear in the events list and event calendars.
