Now that your personal space is activated, you can move on to creating your first event.
As an administrator, you have access to all the events created by your organisation. These are displayed in the dashboard and categorised by their status (ongoing or completed events).
Accessing Event Creation
If you don’t have any active events in your Weezevent account, you’ll automatically be redirected to the event creation page.
Otherwise, simply click the button in the top-right corner of the screen (in the event management interface), and follow the step-by-step instructions.
Creating Your Event
Start by entering the key details of your event using the dedicated form:
- Event Name
- Start and End Dates of the shifts
Important: Make sure not to enter only the official event dates. Volunteer shifts may begin earlier (e.g., setup) and continue afterward (e.g., teardown). It is important to take this into account when setting the dates.
You can also enrich your event details using the advanced options, for example by specifying:
- The event language
- The time zone
- The country
- The GPS coordinates (available via Google Maps)
Note: The GPS coordinates you enter here will automatically appear on all associated mission sheets.
Enter Your Organisation’s Information
During your initial setup, you’ll also need to provide the name of your organisation and the contact details of the main point of contact.
Your first event is now created on the platform. You’re ready to start configuring and managing your shifts. Follow this article for guidance.
