Events are created via the website. Once you have successfully logged in, select “Create New Event” above the calendar to open the event creation wizard.
PermissionsTo create an event, the role Event Planner or higher is required.
The general information for a new event contains the most important basic data. This includes the title, time and duration of the event.
Allow Sharing
By default, other groups using the Slotbot will be able to add new events to their calendar and enter participants into empty, unreserved slots. If you disable sharing, the event can only be published in your own calendar and Discord. This does not apply to groups that have been invited by reservation.
Hidden
By hiding an event, it can only be viewed in the calendar by people with the role Event Planner or higher.

Event type
The event type categorises events. The chosen colour makes it easy to identify mission series in the calendar and in Discord.

Description
The description supports basic text formatting, similar to Discord chat. Bold, italic, underlined, strikethrough, three levels of headings, small subtext, and numbered and unnumbered lists are supported.
Picture
The display image can be specified by providing an external URL to an image, or by uploading your own.
Details
The second step of the wizard allows you to define 23 free text fields. These additional details contain key points of additional information for the description, such as the meeting point and external links.
Community administrators can define templates for these fields for each event type. This provides clear assistance to event creators. Once a standard has been configured, it can be used by clicking on the ‘Add standard ‘X’ details’ button.
Event details that are displayed/formatted in a special form are described in special event details.
Slotlist
The slot list of an event always consists of groups (“squads”) and seats within those groups (“slots”). The order of the groups can be freely determined. Slots within a squad are sorted in ascending order by their slot number.
If all slots in an event are occupied, a reserve of 25% of the number of slots is automatically created. Reservists will automatically move into slots that become available.
