At Events.com, we are constantly thinking of ways to make your event management tasks easier and more efficient. With our Copy Event feature, you will be able to easily copy the format and set up from a live or recently completed event.
When should I use this feature?
This function is especially beneficial for organizations offering the same event in multiple locations. For example, an event series or an event that happens annually. Once you create the original event and are happy with its performance, you can copy that as many times as you’d like without having to recreate the entire event.
2. Select the event you want to copy (Live, Draft, Completed)
3. Click on the Copy Event icon on the top right corner:
4. By default the name will show as “Copy of (event name)”. You can edit the event title on the spot or after the fact through the Edit tab on the right hand side of the screen. After setting the event date and time, you must choose the Organization.
Few notes to consider:
- If you are an event organizer working on multiple organizations, you can choose to copy an event from one organization and adopt the setup and flow for the other organization. How cool is that?!?
- If an event is copied from a different organization, then the event copy will be associated with the new organization granting access to their users.
- If an event is copied from a different organization, the payment information is not copied over.
- Copying an event does not automatically make the new event LIVE and ready for registrations. You will still need to confirm that the event details are all correct and manually take it LIVE.
What is not copied from the original event?
The following fields cannot be copied:
- Promo Codes (global and event specific)
- Receive funds/payment account (The account information is copied, but the account needs to be selected to use)
- Giving settings
- Confirmation messages
- Post-registration settings (for Event Goers)
- Start and End dates for Registrations/Tickets. You will need to manually change these within the Registration/Ticket section. Click the Settings icon (⚙) to show this information within the Reg/Ticket page.
