button and enter the event name in the text box.
You’re able to add a description for your event, in the Event Description

will appear on the dashboard which anyone with an iKnow log in can see. Private

events will appear under Rotas

If you need to change the date, you can do this in the Date
field and you can add a Start

time, for your event.
If the event is a repeating event, you will need to tick the Repeat Event
checkbox. You can then choose whether the event will repeat Daily
