You have all kinds of big new events coming up, and PayGo wants to make sure you have everything you need to make it a success. Your Events & Classes screen keeps all of your events, classes and appointments easy to access, monitor and create. All in one convenient place! 

Creating a New Event or Class

To create a new event or class, first access your Events & Classes screen via the Menu button.

On the Events & Classes screen, click the New Event/Class button at the top of the screen. This will open the Event Setup screen.

Note: When an event is created, it automatically becomes an Inventory item. This is to make it easier for your stores to sell seats or tickets from your Sale screen. You can also create a class or event in your Products screen by clicking the New Inventory button and classifying the new item as an Event.

In your Event Setup screen You will see several buttons along the top of the screen, along with a number in the top right corner. This is the event’s Item ID, which is an automatically-generated number for all inventory items within your software.

Save & Close: Clicking this will save your event and close the Event Setup screen.

Save: Clicking this will save your event and keep the Event Setup screen open.

Events Central: Clicking this will take you back to your central Events screen.

Sales History: This button brings you to a screen that will show the sales history for the event you’re creating. This is useful when you’ve finished creating the event, and would like to see who’s been purchasing reservations for it.

Duplicate: Clicking this will create a duplicate event of the event you are creating. This can be helpful if you are creating a repeating event or class.

Print Labels: If you like, you can create and print labels for this event. There is a drop-down menu for the Barcode Label Type you would like to use. Clicking the Print Label button will print out labels for the event. The number of labels printed will correspond with the event size entered in the first Event Setup box.

Print Roster: This button lets you print out a roster featuring the names of attendees for the event, what date they purchased reservations, and the amount they paid. Under this button, you can select the Barcode Label Type for the event.

Below the buttons, you will see two tabs.

Event Information Tab

In this tab, the first box will be the Event Setup box.
