ButtonWhat it does
**Add**Opens a form to create a new event
**Delete**Deletes the selected event
**Duplicate PTA***(Enabled only on request.)* Creates a copy of an existing event, including its **class and enrollment data** — but not time slots. Best for events with unchanging rosters (e.g., full-year classes).
**Edit Details**Opens a page to edit participant-facing event summary details
**Go to Event**Opens **Event Management** for the selected event
**Event Settings**Opens advanced event-level settings
--- #### Adding a New Event 1. Enter an **Event Name**. 2. Select an **Event Type**: `PTA`, `Simple PTA`, `Normal`, or `Roster`. 3. Select an **Event Template** — use one of pickAtime's built-in templates, or base it on an existing event. 4. Select a **Time Zone**. > If you use an existing event as your template, the new event will inherit that event's time zone automatically. All remaining fields are optional. --- #### Edit Details This page lets you add written details, links, or images for participants to see for this event. --- ### Event Settings The **Event Settings** page contains advanced configuration options for your events. #### General Settings
