Organising events using Labels

Overview of labels

Within the context of the Calendar module, Labels are designed to help you further categorise your events. There's no limit to the number of labels you can add or the number of response options each label might have.

Adding and editing labels

Working from the Labels section of the Calendar module, click Add label.

On the Add label pop-up, give your Label a suitable Name and pick the label's Colour. Next, add Responses as appropriate. The Label Type determines whether module users can assign a Single response only to an event or whether Multiple responses are permitted. Setting Label responses as Required will prevent users from adding or editing an event without selecting a required Label response. Click Save to add the Label.

Continue adding further Labels as desired. Note the actions to further Edit, Delete and View changes for a previously-added Label. Use the drag handle to change the Order of Labels when shown in ChurchSuite and on public-facing pages, like the embeddable Event List. The Label option "counters" reflect the number of Future events that are labelled with that option. Clicking on a Label response opens a filtered list of future-dated events that have that Label response.

Working with labels

You can assign Labels when adding or editing individual events:

You can also bulk-assign Labels to multiple selected events from the Events section of the module using the Edit option in the Bulk Actions feature ...

...ticking the appropriate Labels and then the Label response option/s to be assigned to the selected events.

Label responses are readily visible on each event's "View" page on the Details tab.

Labels are also a Filter option in the Events section of the module, enabling you to further refine and list events matching the selected Label criteria.

Also, many of the Calendar module's Reports can be further filtered by selected Label responses.
