Creating an Event Request

Recommended browsers for 25Live are Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. “Sign In” will automatically refer you to WPConnect for your normal login and password.

1) If the initial screen is in Calendar mode, click the tab on the right for Dashboard or the tab for Event Wizard next to the Home tab.

2) Click the “Create an Event” button on the home dashboard. This will bring you to the Event Wizard which is 25Live’s built-in event scheduling request form.

Note: If you change the view from Dashboard to Calendar (upper right tabs) and exit 25Live, you will need to reselect the dashboard tab or select the Event Wizard tab (upper left tabs) upon next sign-in to access “Create an Event”. 25Live pages are “sticky”, meaning when the view is changed 25Live remembers that as a preference and will open that page the same way next time.

3) Enter the Event Information - * are required fields

Event Name – EX: New Scholars History Conference

Note: Event Title only applies if there is a different name advertising the event. EX: History on Trial, Rethinking the Discipline, Rethinking the Past

Note: Available locations will be accompanied with a green check mark. Locations with conflicts will be accompanied by a red triangle. Only select an available location. However, this selection does not guarantee the room is available as there may be a prior request in queue for the same space. Location can only be confirmed by Events and Conference Services.

9) Find and Select Resources. Resources are items that need to be brought into the space for your event such as tables, podium, or you require an AV technician. If you require a resource, search by typing in the first few letters to provide a list of available resources or the name of the resource. The search field is not case sensitive. Clicking on the resource in search box will populate the selected resource field to the right. Note that some resources are limited to specific buildings and spaces.
