# Checklist

To set up your event using the Normal event scheduler, follow these steps:

1. **[Create Your Event](https://help.pickatime.com/books/event-setup-guide/page/step-one-create-event)** Create your event and give it a clear, descriptive name (e.g., "Health Screenings" or "Photo Shoot Appointments").
2. **[Add a Resource](https://help.pickatime.com/books/event-setup-guide/page/step-two-add-a-resource)** Add a resource — the "holder" of your time slots. A resource can be a specific person, or a generic entity like "Nurse" or "Appointments."
3. **[Create Slots for the Event](https://help.pickatime.com/books/event-setup-guide/page/step-three-create-slots)** Create your time slots, including dates, times, and appointment durations.
4. **[Configure Settings](https://help.pickatime.com/books/event-setup-guide/page/step-four-adjust-settings)**
    - **Appointment Settings** — Adjust various settings specific to your event.
    - **Configure Notifications** *(optional)* — Customize the default email confirmations and reminder notices, if needed.
5. **[Try It Out](https://help.pickatime.com/books/event-setup-guide/page/step-five-try-it-out)** Test your scheduler before opening it to participants.
