PowerUp Challenge: First Events Task

@Crystal Bruce
We created an event for a Donor Lunch coming up next month. I have been recommending our team use the Event module for this lunch for the past 2 years. This year I insisted!?

Setting up the event, adding participants, and tracking responses is so much easier than I remember in DBV! I especially like you can check the box next to an invitee and easily update their RSVP! This is fantastic!

@Crystal Bruce
The ability for registrants to make a donation. Most of our events are free, so this is a very nice feature.

@Crystal Bruce @Crystal Bruce I love how easy and user friendly it is to create an event! It's so easy to just copy the event over and have all of the same packages. I also like how easy it is to make a list of the attendees of an event!

@Crystal Bruce
I like that I can now change a participant as we have had duplicate constituents come through so to easily edit and pick the right constituent is very convenient. Also that people can decline an invitation which is nice to keep track of responses.

@Crystal Bruce, I like that I can add participants in bulk by using a saved list. That will save some serious time.

@Crystal Bruce
Identifying possible duplicates in the Online data health would be my favorite. I wish we could screen suggested new constituent records for duplicates before processing their registration, kind of like gifts.

@Crystal Bruce love the participant options.

@Crystal Bruce, I'm late to the party - so much has been said.

Like @Patti Hommes I've been using events since it was released.

I also want to amplify @Dana Smith's comment about being able to copy an event.
Vote here.

What I like about creating a new event is that it is so user-friendly I'm finally shifting this off of my plate and our event planner loves the ease of adding new events and setting up registration forms. The forms are so similar to setting up emails in the web view and she has been doing that for years.

I'd also love it if we could create the event id at the time we create the event.

@Crystal Bruce I like that it ties into defined categories and groups automatically. The description is nice and BIG.

@Crystal Bruce
The "participant options" are nice to have. I might need to restrict others from creating those so we don't end up with variations of the same options…

@Crystal Bruce It was very quick and easy to figure out how to make a new event.

@Crystal Bruce Having the participant options is great. I also enjoyed how easy it was to set up and can see being able to pass this off to someone less experienced, which I didn't feel comfortable with in database view.

@Crystal Bruce
We love that you can offer an optional donation option to event registration forms. This has increased our alumni giving simply by offering them the option to give when they register for alumni events!

@Crystal Bruce I do prefer the nxt event registration and so does our fundraising staff it's much more friendly than the database view

@Crystal Bruce
We started using the Expenses Tile to track expenses with our last event. We also are attaching all documentation we receive for the event such as catering contracts in the event record.
