Create and publish a staff event

How to create a group event or submit an all-staff event for moderation in Canopy.

Use Canopy's Events area to publish a one-time event or a recurring series for staff.

  1. Open Events and choose Manage events. Select Create event.
  2. Choose the audience. For a group event, select a group you are allowed to represent. All-staff events are submitted for moderation.
  3. Enter an event title and description, then select the event type and format.
  4. Set the start and end date and time. Canopy uses Central Time. For a recurring series, choose a repeat frequency, interval, end date, and (for weekly events) the applicable days.
  5. Add the location or online meeting link that matches the format. Registration link and contact email are optional.
  6. Choose Publish event for a group event, or Submit for review for an all-staff event.

Check Your event series on the management page for its status. A pending all-staff event appears after it is approved; if it is returned, review the note and edit the event.
