To connect a series of events that do not require continuous attendance, you can use a dedicated event tag. This indicates that the events are part of the same series and allows you to filter events by your tag on CampusGroups. 

Contact campusgroups@case.edu to set up a dedicated event series tag. Dedicated event tags are not guaranteed and at the discretion of CampusGroups administrators.

Once you have your dedicated tag, create your events and add the tag in the Event Tags field. You can then create and share a filtered link to the CampusGroups events page with your tag already added to the filter, making it easier for recipients to see all events in the series.

To create the filtered link:

1. Navigate to the events tab in CampusGroups
2. In the filter options, set your desired filters and wait for the events list to update.
3. You will see that the URL now has added text at the end.
4. The URL for sharing will have a format similar to 
5. The new URL will link to the Event Page with your event tag already set in the filter, showing your recipients all events you have tagged.

Make sure that the link is functioning properly - test it after adding it to the event.

First, consider whether a may work better for your purposes. If you decide to use a CampusGroups event for sales or fundraising not connected to an in-person event, your event must adhere to the guidelines below.

• Description - Include detailed information about what is being offered and how it will be picked up or delivered.
• Date & time - The dates and times must correspond to the period of time that the items can be picked up or items/services will be delivered, even if it is a few weeks or months in the future.

Under Access & Display Options, use the following settings:

1. Who is allowed to register? - Consider who you will be able to deliver the item or service to when you choose this setting.
2. Who can see this event? - If the event is more than 48 hours long, you must select No one (always hide from calendar).

To gather information from buyers in order to provide the item or service, use the Add More Questions / Slots feature under the Advanced options near the end of the event creation page.

You can publicize your sale/fundraiser by sharing the event link. It can be posted on your website and social media, shared by email, and the event QR code can be displayed on flyers or other printed items.

If your event is longer than 48 hours and hidden from the calendar, be sure to include promotional details when posting or sharing the link. Hidden events require either SSO login or a valid email address to view, so you will need to share the details of the sale or fundraiser first to give the audience incentive to log in and make a purchase.

If you have events that repeat with little variation, such as group or officer meetings, you can set them to recur on future dates.

When you add recurrences to an event, it will create separate events on all the days you specify. Take care not to set up the recurrences more than once. After creating the recurring events, you can edit each one individually without affecting the other events in the series. If you have a series of related events that are not the same, you should refer to the Event Series guide.

1. Create your event as completely as possible and save it.
2. Edit your new event.
3. Under When, go to Recurring event settings.
4. Check the boxes next to the dates you want to create identical events on.
5. Save the event.
6. Check your Upcoming Events for the newly-created events.
