How to Create a Calendar Event Using LiveWhale

Log in to LiveWhale and click on the “Events” tab. Click on the blue button next to the “Manage Events” title. It reads: “+ Add new.”

You should now be in the “Add a new event” form page. The required fields to fill are:

• • Title
  • Start Date and Time (Please do not recycle/reuse past events by using old content and just updating the calendar and time – your event will not update or function properly site-wide.)
  • Location
  • Summary
  • Select the checkboxes under “Event Type(s)” if your event is open to the public or Dialogue in Action. The criteria for Dialogue in Action is:
    • There is adequate time for dialogue, and diverse opinions, curiosity, and listening are encouraged.
    • Discussions are facilitated.
    • Dialogue is modeled and experienced by the audience.
    • Opportunities for further learning or engagement are shared.
  • Event Description
  • Groups: Fill in the appropriate campus locations in the gray box titled “Suggest this event to the following group(s)”. For example:
    • “College: The Bark” (sends your event to undergraduate campus screens)
    • “Grad: Current Students” (sends your event to graduate campus screens)

To make your event live, choose “Live” in the drop-down menu in the upper right-hand corner (default is “Hidden”).

IMPORTANT NOTE: remember to click on the “Save this event” button at the bottom of the page.
