Create a syndicate event

Add a syndicate-level event — an AGM, a fly-in, a safety evening, a social — to the calendar so every member can see it.

Before you start

• You must be an admin or owner of the syndicate. Members cannot create events.
• An event is not a booking. It doesn’t attach to a specific asset and doesn’t interfere with booking conflict detection.
• Events are included by default in every member’s personal ICS calendar feed.

Steps

1. Go to the syndicate Calendar tab.
2. Open the create-booking dialog the same way you would for a booking — drag across the time on the grid, or long-press a day in Month view.
3. At the top of the dialog you’ll see three segments: Personal, Maintenance, Event. Tap Event.

The dialog retitles itself to Create Event and the event-specific fields appear.

4. Enter a Title (required, up to 100 characters).
5. Enter an optional Description (up to 2,000 characters) with any detail members should know.
6. Enter an optional Location (up to 200 characters) — free text. This is a plain label, not a maps reference.
7. Adjust the Start and End times if you need to.
8. Tap Create.

You’ll see an “Event created” snackbar. The event appears on the syndicate calendar alongside bookings.

Editing or deleting an event

1. Open the event on the calendar.
2. Use the edit or delete actions on the event detail screen. (The dialog title changes to Edit Event when you edit.)

If it goes wrong

• The Event segment isn’t there — you are not an admin or owner in this syndicate.
• “Please enter a title” — events require a title.
• “Title must be 100 characters or fewer” / “Description must be 2,000 characters or fewer” / “Location must be 200 characters or fewer” — shorten the offending field.
• “Failed to create event” — check your connection and try again.
