Overview

versaSRS includes an Events calendar allowing the publishing of Events within the system. When Events are added they will appear in the Calendar and be visible to all Users of the Team(s) the Event is published to.

The Events can be viewed by selecting the Events option from the Tools menu in the Navigation Sidebar. You can also view Events via My Calendar.

Once clicked the Events will appear in the Preview Pane of versaSRS.
Note: The Preview Pane can be maximised by double clicking on the header bar. A new event can be created via the versaSpinner - Manage tab or by right clicking on the Event Calendar and selecting "Add New Event".

The Events calendar can be set to appear by default in the Preview Pane via the Global Settings Application Property PreviewPane.

Managing Events

To manage the Events select the Manage Events icon from the versaSpinner - Manage tab.

This will display the Manage Events screen where entries can be added, edited and deleted.

When creating new or editing existing Events, the Manage Events screen is displayed which consists of two tabs labelled 'Event' and 'Publishing'.
