Preparation (optional): Upload files like images or PDFs Filelist

Before adding a new event, upload all files like images or PDFs you want to use in the record.

Step 1: Create new Event record List

Select List in the Sidebar and browse to the correct event record folder, usually Events folder + subfolder of the year of the event.

There are two paths to add a new event record, either by clicking on + New record in the Events table or by clicking on + Create new record in the top bar. 

If you choose the latter path you have to select Events in a second step.

Step 2: Fill in the Events Form List

Fill in the form fields.

You will only need the General tab, the system will take care of hiding the event when it is over.

Your event will now be shown on the event listings of the TUMCS site. Depending on the category configuration it may also appear on the frontpage or the students page, and wherever else an event content element’s criteria matches your event settings.

Find a field by field explanation of the form in the List section of the docs.

Please translate your records!

As records like news, events, job offers or personnel are used on the whole TUMCS site, please create a translation even if your homepage is monolingual! 

If you choose not to localize your records, the system will fall back to the english version on the german website, so your content will be shown but may impair the user experience and search engine optimization.

Congratulations, your task is complete!
