Create an event
You go to the Events page in the navigation and find the "Create event" button on the left. Here you can decide whether you’re creating a public or private event.
The following input screen looks the same for both options.
The basic requirement for the event is a name, everything else is optional. However, it makes senseto add more information to the event, such as a location and time, as well as a description. This ensures that all of the potential participants have all the information they need. You should also define an organizer: You are either the organizer yourself or you specify a page/community for which you are an admin.
Via the advanced options, you can add further information such as a maximum number of participants.
The next step depends on whether you are creating a public or private event:
- Public: With the "Create event" button, you create an event that is visible to everyone
- Private: Instead of the "Create event" button, you can see the "Invite colleagues" button and can then invite your colleagues:
In the overview, you can mark the colleagues who you want to invite. In the right-hand column, you can also clearly see who you have already selected.
You can also invite the members of public communities and subscribers of public pages to your private event – provided that they have the corresponding permissions, which are assigned under the general permissions. The permission "Invite groups" can also now be found under the general permissions.
Once all of the settings have been made and potential participants have been invited, you can publish the event via "Create".
Add profile and cover image
Like a page or personal profile, you have the option of adding pictures to an event. To do this, click on the corresponding field and add a picture from the file library or upload a new picture.
Exchange in an event
The detailed view of every event contains a timeline. This gives invited users the opportunity to comment, add files or pictures, or suggest a new time or location.

An event can be easily downloaded in a .ics format by selecting the "Download event" option on the left side in the "Timeline" section.
Share event
An event can be easily shared by a user by selecting the "Share event" option on the left side in the "Timeline" section.
Download participants
The admins of an event can export a participants list at any time. For this purpose, the option "Download participants" can be selected on the left side in the "Timeline" section.
The export is in CSV format and contains the following information:
