How to add a new event to your Merton Connected site

1. First log in to Merton Connected, and find your home page. At the top of the right hand column you will see your group administration menu. You can use this block to add extra pages, events and polls to your Merton Connected site. To begin with, click on "Create group event".

2. You will now be able to edit your new event in much the same way you would edit an email or a Word document. Give your new event a title and then either type or paste the text you would like to appear on this page.

3. Scroll down and you can now specify the start and end time and date of your event.

 4. When you are done, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the "Save" button. Your new event will now appear in at the bottom of your right hand column.

5. Your event will also automatically appear in the Merton Connected community calendar - to see this click on the "Calendar" link in the top left of the screen.

6.  The community calendar displays community events throughout Merton.

7. Your event will also appear in the upcoming events section of the Merton Connected home page, in the week  before it takes place.
