Event types and "Plan a gathering"

Event types

When you create an event you Choose a type of event (you can search the list). A type is a starting point: the kind of event, what its page starts with and the settings it begins with. You can change everything afterwards in the editor.

Plan a gathering

Two places in the Studio let you plan an event around something you already publish:

• On a reading of a book club, the reading's entry has Plan a gathering.
• On a coverage, its entry has the same Plan a gathering.

Pressing it opens the new-event window with that reading or coverage already chosen. The event you make sits beside it, and each page shows the other.

In that window, the types made for a book club or for a coverage are listed first and marked Recommended. The other types follow, and you can still choose any of them. From the Events tab, no type is marked.

What is not available yet

• Types made for one kind of coverage (for example a conference coverage with its own event types) are not built. All coverages share the same recommended types for now.
