Events

LAUTI currently provides the possibility to create two types of events, one-time events and repeating events. First, this documentation page will list what both have in common, and then the special settings for repeating events.

Creating Events#

An event contains a number of information fields, most of them optional. Only the following information is mandatory for the creator of an event:

• title of the event
• place of the event (either textual or as reference to an existing place)
• begin of the event: date and time
• category (chosen from list predefined by instance admin)
• topic (chosen from list predefined by instance admin)

Furthermore, the creator has the possibility to add more information

• link to other event if the event is part of it
• organizer of the event (one or multiple, either textual or as reference to an existing group)
• involved persons (one or multiple, with name and description)
• address of the location, in case it is not a existing place
• additional information of the location, e.g. certain room
• end of the event: date and time
• description of the event
• one image with description
• one or multiple tags

Visibility of an event#

An event can be deactivated, published and canceled by selecting the checkboxes in the event form.

1. deactivated means that your event is not visible in LAUTI at all, when this option is checked. It is not listed on any page and not accessible by URL.

   Important: This option is only visible and adjustable by moderators and admins.

2. published is your possibility to control weather an event is listed on the home, place and group pages or not. When you uncheck this option your event will be accessible by URL only.

   Important: Everyone who has this link can see this event. There is no access control.

3. canceled changes the appearance of your event to canceled. It is still visible for everyone and accessible by URL.

Editing events with multiple users#

When creating/editing events you can add users at the bottom of the page. After saving these users get access to this event in the backstage as well. Important: There is no fine grained permission model, so users with permissions can edit and delete the event.

Deleting events#

You can delete events in the events overview located at /backstage/events of your instance. You will be asked to confirm the deletion of an event.

Copy an event#

This option is also accessible via the events overview located at /backstage/events of your instance. If you click this button a new event page is opened with the content of the copied event.

Get the URL of an event#

This option is also accessible via the events overview located at /backstage/events of your instance. If you click this button you will visit the URL of the event and copy the address from your browser window.
