Repeat Events

---

Once you have setup an area and completed the 'Initial Bag Intro' event, you will have drivers and donors registered on your site.    It's important to schedule your next event soon after this initial event.   We would recommend you pick the same pattern for the date;  for example, you might have done this on the '2nd Saturday of even # months', so you would schedule the next event on that same day.   

Once you schedule the next event (and future events) for the zone, the ASG Event Manager will handle notifying those donors to confirm their participation.   You can learn much more about this by clicking the "EVENTS" dropdown in the ASG Event manager, and clicking the ?Help button at the top.   

At some point your event may get too big.   It happens all the time, where more food is coming in than your beneficaries can handle.    This is the time to consider splitting your events into seperate events.  This is done by setting up some of your zones for one event on some recurring schedule and others on another recurring schedule.    

There is a "Messaging" tool in the ASG Event Manager that allows you to send emails and texts to all donors and drivers within the zone you wish to rescheudule.    A common idea is to use the same "2nd Saturday" (for example) but make one zone even # months (Feb, April, June, etc) and the other odd number months (Jan, Mar, May, etc).
