STEP ONE: Setup Event
When you first log in to pickAtime, you'll land in the Admin tool on the Event Reports page.
Steps to Create a New Event
- Select Events / Preview from the sidebar.
- Click the green Add button.
- Enter a name for your event — e.g.,
Summer Camp RegistrationorSwimming Lessons. - Select the event type: Roster.
- Select the Roster Event template, or use a previous Roster-type event as your template if you've used one before.
- Select the appropriate time zone for your event location.
- (Optional) Add Date and Location — labels that help parents differentiate between multiple events on the landing page.
About the Date and Location Fields
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Date | A text label, not a system-driven calendar. If your event spans multiple days, list them all here (e.g., "Oct 12–14"), or leave it blank. |
| Location | Useful for distinguishing events across multiple campuses or facilities. |
Adding Event Details
Use the Event Details box to add event-specific information you'd like to display on the scheduler or include in emails.
Anything entered here becomes available as a macro: $(E_DESCRIPTION)
You can insert this macro into your CUI Messages or Notification Setup templates to automatically pull in this text.
