To create a new event click "events" then "create and event"
To create an event fill in the details shown below.
You will need to select a start date/time & end date and time when filling out the date & time box. You can use the rich text editor in the event description & location box. This is useful to say create a link to an event, or to make text bold.
A public event is one that appears on All Students events pages, and each student can click ‘Accept’ or ‘Decline’.
A private event will only appear in the student's events tab when you invite them. You will usually be creating private events
When creating an event you can make it Public or Private. If you make it public you can choose which year level you want to invite or invite them all! Students will be able to see it under their events tab and either accept or decline the invite. You might use this for something like a Careers Expo or a visiting speaker.
More often you would make the event private and invite a group of students.
Again there is more information about inviting groups to events under the Groups/Search tab.
If you tick “show on Media Manager” the event will be advertised on the media screens you have. If you don’t have Media Manager as part of your Career Central package please contact support for more information or to purchase.
Once you save have created the event you will see the screen below. You can now select either a single student or a group you have previously created (e.g. all students interested in Otago University or all students interested in Hairdressing) and invite them to your event.
When have the option to add a group to the event or a single person. If you click "Add a group Group to the eventEvent" you will see the list of groups which have been created in Career Central. You can create groups be asked to choose from groups you have previously created in the group/search section.
Once you have clicked "Add Group to Event" you will see this page:
You should edit the message (email) and text message to describe your event. If you don't want to send a text simply untick their cellphone numbers.
Your students will get an email and text invite. They can click a link in the email to get more information and are able to accept or decline your invite straight from there.
Alternatively students will need to login to Career Central to accept or decline in their events tab. Once they respond you will see their responses when you look at the event on your calendar.
You can create a group from the event, by selecting the statuses of students you wish to include in the group, and then pressing create group. This feature is useful for sending a message to students. The group will then appear in your group/search area.
ATTEND: Students that are marked as Going to Attend within the system.
ATTENDED: Students that are marked as having been to the event within the system. (If they are listed as Attend and the date of the event passes)
DECLINED: Students that are marked as Not going to the event within the system.
INVITED: Students that have been Invited within the system but have not responded to the invite.
Again there is more information about inviting groups to events under the Groups/Search tabyou add the students you will see the "Invite Manager" where you can edit the message students will receive by email or text telling them they have been invited to an event.
When students receive an email notifying them of an invite to an event, this is what they will see in their email:
The first part is the message that you composed on the "Invite Manager" screen, and the second part ("You have been invited to: ..." etc) is automatically added by us and includes a unique link that allows the student to view the event details and respond to their invite without needing to login to Career Central.
Once you have invited your students you can then create a group of those who are attending in order to message them. You can also make groups of those who declined the invite, did not respond etc...
When you view an event you will see a calendar with all the events you have created. By clicking on an event you can see the details of the event as well as any student who have been invited and whether or not they are attending. You also have the option to add other students to the event.
