In this article, you will learn how to add events to your schedule to help you manage non-job related tasks in your day to day.

Events are designed to help you stay on top of activities that aren't related to jobs on your schedule, such as meetings, personal appointments, or administrative tasks. This is a great way of keeping your entire day organized in one place, ensuring you never miss important commitments while maintaining clear separation from job-related activities. 

Creating events on the web app (desktop)

Events are enabled for all Workiz accounts by default. New events can be created right from the sidebar menu. 

1. From the sidebar menu, select Create new > Event
   
2. Create your event:
   
   
   1. Title
   2. Description
   3. Team members

      Select "Assign to all" to add this event to the calendars of your entire team.

   4. Status (e.g., open, in progress, done)
   5. Schedule (e.g., starts at/ends at)
   6. Attachments
   7. Select Add event

This event will now be added to your Workiz schedule. 

Creating events on the mobile app

Events can also be created on the go using the Workiz mobile app.

1. From the mobile app, select the Schedule tab
2. Select the calendar icon
   
3. Select Event
   
   
4. Create your event:
   
   
   1. Title
   2. Description
   3. Team members

      Select "Assign to all" to add this event to the calendars of your entire team.

   4. Status (e.g., open, done)
   5. Schedule (e.g., starts at/ends at)
   6. Attachments
   7. Select Add event

Changing event statuses

After creating an event, it will automatically be added to your Workiz schedule. If you'd like to change the status of this event from open to done, you can do that from the schedule on both the web app and mobile app.

1. From the sidebar menu, select Schedule
2. Select the event you want to mark done
   
3. From the summary card, select the pencil icon to edit the event
4. Update the status and select Save
