ADD AN EVENT
Perhaps unsurprisingly for an event planning application, 1pm allows users to add events (cue applause).
But it has some neat features built-in to make the whole process get started on the best foot.
When creating a new event within 1pm you can instantly look up existing Locations/Venues from your database. If this is a new Venue, there is a handy link to add that venue.
When entering start times into 1pm we made this as easy as possible. There are no fancy time pickers that take forever to scroll. You just type in the time the event starts using natural language, so something like ‘9am’ or ‘9.00am’ will work equally as well.
When adding an event you also get to set the main contact details, which will appear directly on the runsheet.
Finally, you can revoke the runsheet token which looks rather intimidating at first sight.
That’s because the token is essentially the unguessable secret ‘password’ which provides access to the public portals, without actually needing to login or sign up for anything.
Within this screen you can also revoke this token, for example if you had a falling out with your photographer who (probably not going to happen - but nice to know you can reset global access if really needed).
This is also where you set events to active or inactive. 1pm provides a certain number of events per plan (more events means more cost of course). You don’t have to delete old events, but you will need to set them to inactive so they don’t count towards your total active even quota.
