Rules for Adding Items<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- At least one Item in your Request must be from your Department<\/li>\n
- At least one Item in your Request must have a PO Number<\/li>\n
- You can schedule Splits with Items from other Departments. \u00a0These will be verified by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team after your Request has been submitted. \u00a0You do not need to Submit a PO Number for Items that are not from your Department (unless you know what it is).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Adding a Single Item<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- To Add and Item, click in to the Item box and start typing. \u00a0The system will automatically start filtering Items by either the Item Number or Description.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"add-event-request-add-items-search\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Add-Event-Request-Add-Items-Search.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Once you have selected an Item, it will appear in a box below the Item search box. \u00a0Similar to Locations and Dates, to remove an Item, click on the red “X<\/strong>” in the top right of the box.<\/li>\n
- For every Item added, you can add Enhancements and a PO Number. \u00a0To add an Enhancement, click in to the Enhancement and type in the Description of the Enhancement you want to use. \u00a0To add more than one Enhancement, simply click on the “+<\/strong>“\u00a0<\/strong>next to the Enhancement field. \u00a0Similar to Locations and Dates, to remove an Enhancement, click on the “X<\/strong>” next to it to remove it. \u00a0Once you have added your Items and\/or Enhancements and\/or PO Number, the Create Event button will become active at the bottom right hand corner of the page. \u00a0Click on the Create Event button to go to the next step.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"add-event-request-add-items-single\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Add-Event-Request-Add-items-Single.png\")

Confirm Events<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter you click on the Create Event button, you will go to a new Confirm Events page that shows all of the Locations, Dates, Items, Enhancements, and PO Numbers that you entered on the previous page. \u00a0In addition, there are 2 additional fields you can fill out that are NOT required in order to submit your Event Request<\/p>\n
Confirm Events – Notify Users<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Notify Users section is where you can add a list of Email Addresses for the people you want to be notified about the Creation and\/or Changes to the Event Request. \u00a0The Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team for your Region will already receive email updates for your Event Request, so there is no need to enter them. \u00a0However, you may want to add your Buyer, Assistant Buyer, ICS, Vendor(s), etc. to keep them informed about the Event Request. \u00a0There are a number of ways to add Users to Notify:<\/p>\n
\n- You can type Email Addresses directly in to the Notify Users space<\/li>\n
- You can Copy\/Paste Email Addresses in to the Notify Users space (one at a time)<\/li>\n
- You can add Users you have previously added to your Address Book by clicking on the User Icon next to Notify Users (see further instructions below)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/p>\n
Confirm Events – Using the Address Book<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Address Book here is not tied to your any of your Email Applications or Contacts in your Computer or Phone. \u00a0It is simply a place where you can store email addresses for future use for Notifying Users so you do not have to reenter them for each new Request you submit. \u00a0You can Add Existing Users to your Request, Add\/Save New Users to the Address Book, or Remove Existing Users from the Address Book as follows:<\/p>\n
\n- Click on the User Icon next to Notify Users on the Confirm Event Page (see above) to\u00a0open the Address Book popup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Add Remove\/Existing Users to your Event Request<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Click on any of the Existing Users in your Address Book that you want to add. \u00a0Like other places in the App, the User will turn green when it has been selected. \u00a0To remove a selected User, simply click it again. \u00a0The User will change from green to white to indicate it has been deselected.<\/li>\n
- Click on the blue Submit button in the bottom right of the popup to Save your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"address-book-select-user\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Address-Book-Select-User.png\")
<\/p>\n
Add New User to Address Book<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- To Add a New User to your Address Book, click on the blue “+<\/strong>” below the last entry in your Address Book. \u00a0This will create a new line where you can an additional Email Address.<\/li>\n

<\/p>\n
Confirm Events – Add Notes<\/strong><\/p>\nThe last, optional, step is to type in any Notes or Special Instructions you have for your Event Request. \u00a0The Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team will see these Notes when processing your Event Request.<\/p>\n
Confirm Event Request<\/strong><\/p>\nNow that you have filled out all of the Required (and maybe some of the Optional) Fields, you can Submit your Event Request by clicking on the blue Submit button in the bottom right hand corner. \u00a0If, for whatever reason, you need to make changes to your Locations, Dates, Items, Enhancements, or PO Numbers, click on the white Back button instead to go back to the Event Request page to make changes.<\/p>\n
Once you click Submit, your Request will be sent to the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team, you will receive a Confirmation Email with the details of your Request, and you will be returned to the Home Page of the Portal.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Event Request Confirmation Email<\/strong><\/p>\nAfter you Submit your Event Request, you, and all of the Users you selected to be notified, will receive a Confirmation Email from the System that includes all of the details about your Request. \u00a0This includes the Request # that you can use for tracking purposes throughout the life of the Event Request. \u00a0Below is a sample of the Confirmation Email<\/p>\n

Adding Event Requests with your Mobile Device<\/h3>\n
The process for Adding Event Requests on your Phone follows the same exact process as outlined above. \u00a0The only difference is, to optimize the process on your phone, the Add Event Request is broken up in to a 4 step Wizard that walks you through the process.<\/p>\n

Calendar – View Event Requests \u00a0![\"Mobile](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Mobile-Icon.10.png\")
<\/h2>\n
To give you a more complete view of the upcoming Schedule, we have added Event Requests to the Calendar View in Buyer Portal. \u00a0Event Requests are Requests that have been submitted either by Buyers or Vendors through their respective Portals that have not been finalized by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team yet. \u00a0These Requests are Waiting Approval (for the most part, exceptions will be covered in a later section) and not actually on the Schedule yet. \u00a0The Daymon Sales & Scheduling team may have to make updates to the Request (changing Dates and\/or Locations) or have questions about the Request that must be resolved prior to the Request actually being Scheduled.<\/p>\n
Calendar View – Finding Event Requests<\/strong><\/p>\nTo help identify Event Requests on the Calendar, they are color coded as Gray (to signify they are not complete yet). \u00a0They may still be Regular, Combos, Splits, etc., but until they are Approved by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team, ALL Event Types will show as Gray.<\/p>\n
To help find Event Requests on the Calendar, we have added three new filters:<\/p>\n
\n- Approval Status<\/strong> – This indicates where the Events in the Event Request process are. \u00a0Events can be Approved<\/strong> (i.e. on the Schedule and show normally as Regular, Combos, Splits, etc.),\u00a0Waiting Approval<\/strong> (in the queue for the Daymon Sales & Scheduling to review), or Needs More Information<\/strong> (meaning the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team have reviewed the Request, but have questions that have to be answered by the Vendor or Buyer before the Request can be Approved).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"calendar-approval-status-filter\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Calendar-Approval-Status-Filter.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- PO Number –\u00a0<\/strong>You can search by PO Number. \u00a0This will show all Events within the Time Period and other filters that you have set with the PO Number. \u00a0Like other text filters in the Calendar, results on the Calendar will update as you type. \u00a0When I type in just MDB in the filter, I get ALL Events with a PO Number that starts with MDB. \u00a0Please note that filtering by PO Number works for ALL Events not just Event Requests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"calendar-po-filter\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Calendar-PO-Filter.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Request Number<\/strong> – You can search by Request Number. \u00a0This is the Tracking number the System emails to you when you Submit an Event Request through the Portal. \u00a0This will show all Events within the Time Period and other filter that you have set with the Request Number. \u00a0Please note that filtering by PO Number works for ALL Events not just Event Requests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"calendar-request-filter\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Calendar-Request-Filter.png\")
<\/p>\n
Calendar – View Event Requests in Today’s Events<\/strong><\/p>\nWhen you open up Today’s Events by clicking on a Date in the Calendar, Event Requests will sometimes be missing some information depending on where they are in the Approval Process. \u00a0For example, when a Buyer submits an Event, the Billable Vendor does not get assigned until the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team reviews and processes the Request. \u00a0This is also when the DPIS would be assigned. \u00a0This means that until the Event Request has been processed, this data will be missing.<\/p>\n
![\"calendar-event-request-todays-events\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Calendar-Event-Request-Todays-Events.png\")
<\/p>\n
Calendar – Mixed Approval Statuses<\/strong><\/p>\nOn some occasions, and Event Request may have Events that are in multiple Approval Statuses. \u00a0Some may be Approved<\/strong>, some may be Waiting Approval<\/strong>, and some may Need More Information<\/strong>. \u00a0This can happen for a number of reasons. \u00a0For example, you may add Dates\/Locations to an existing Request that has already been approved. \u00a0The Events that had already been Approved<\/strong> would remain Approved, but the newly added Events would be in Waiting Approval<\/strong>. In the Calendar, it is difficult to show 2 Approval Statuses at the same time. \u00a0What we have done to indicate when a group of Events have mixed Approval Statuses, we have added a gold ring around the Event Count in the Calendar. \u00a0The Color of the Event Count will be dictated by the highest Approval Status in the group of Events. \u00a0For example, If I had a set of Regular Events where there was 1 Approved<\/strong> Event and 1 Waiting Approval<\/strong> Event, the Event Count would be 2 and the Color would Blue with Gold ring around it. \u00a0In the same scenario, if 1 Event was Waiting Approval<\/strong> and 1 Event was Needs More Information<\/strong>, the Event Count would still be 2, but the Color would be Gray with a Gold ring around it. \u00a0The most important thing to understand is that if your Events have more than 1 Approval Status, you will see the Gold ring and you should open the Event Details to see all of the Events and their Approval Statuses.<\/p>\n![\"calendar-mixed-statuses\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Calendar-Mixed-Statuses.png\")
<\/p>\n
Calendar – View Event Details<\/strong><\/p>\nTo see the Details about a group of Events with Mixed Statuses, click on the Event in the Calendar to open the Event Details popup. \u00a0In addition to the Execution Statuses, we have added a section for the Approval Statuses on the first tab. \u00a0If you have Mixed Statuses, the Event Count for each status will show in Approval Status section.<\/p>\n

Editing Event Requests \u00a0![\"No](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/No-Mobile-Icon.20png.png\")
<\/h2>\n
After an Event Request has been submitted through the Portal, there may be circumstances where you need to Edit the Original Request. \u00a0There could be any number of reasons including:<\/p>\n
\n- Adding\/Removing Locations<\/li>\n
- Adding\/Removing Dates<\/li>\n
- Cancelling Events<\/li>\n
- Adding\/Removing Enhancements<\/li>\n
- Adding\/Editing PO Numbers<\/li>\n
- Adding\/Editing Special Notes\/Instructions to the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team<\/li>\n
- Providing Additional Information requested by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Regardless of the reason, Editing a Request can be done within the Portal, but there are a number of Rules to be aware of:<\/p>\n
\n- To Edit a Request, you must be the person who originally submitted the Request. \u00a0We do not allow you to Edit a Vendor’s Request any more than we would allow a Vendor to Edit one of your Requests. \u00a0You will know if a Request is Editable in either Today’s Events or the Event Details popup by the presence of the Edit Icon or Edit Button<\/li>\n
- To Edit a Request, it must first be Approved by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team. \u00a0This may sound a little backwards, but when you first submit a Request through the Portal, it is missing a lot of the information that is needed to actually Schedule the Request. \u00a0This information is added by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team as part of their process of Scheduling the Request. \u00a0Until this additional information is added, the Event Request cannot be edited.<\/li>\n
- When Edit a Request, any of the Events effected by the Edit will need to go to the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team for Approval. \u00a0This may result in you having Events with Mixed Approval Statuses.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Edit Event Request – Event Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- To Edit an Event Request, open up the Event Details from the Calendar. \u00a0If the Events meet the Rules above (you created the Event Request and the original Request has been Approved), the Edit button will be active in the top right corner of the popup.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"edit-event-event-details\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Event-Event-Details.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Click on the Edit button. \u00a0This will open the Edit Events page. \u00a0Regardless of which Date you opened the Edit Events page from, you will always see ALL Dates associated with the Request when it is opened.<\/li>\n
- The Header section of the Edit Events page shows the Request Number, Items, Enhancements, and PO Numbers. \u00a0In addition, there is a filter on the page for Approval Status. \u00a0This filter will be helpful if your Request has Mixed Statuses to help you find the exact Events you are looking for.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"edit-events-header\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Events-Header.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Below the Edit Events header information are all of the Events associated with the Request grouped either by Date or by Location<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Edit Events Grouped by Date<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"edit-events-group-by-date\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Events-Group-by-Date.png\")

<\/p>\n
Adding Locations to a Date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Toggle Edit Events to the Group by Date View<\/li>\n
- If your Request contains more than one date, find the Date that you wish to Add Locations to and click on the Add Location button to open the Edit Event popup. \u00a0The popup will show all of the Locations in the Division that are eligible to Add to that Date.<\/li>\n
- You can then select whichever Locations you would like to add to that specific Date. \u00a0Similar to Adding Locations when you are you creating a new Request, you can select Locations by clicking on them, pasting a comma separated list in to the Add Locations box, or using the Select All button. \u00a0Locations that have been selected are changed to green to indicate that they have been selected.<\/li>\n
- Once you have selected your Locations, click on the Save button in the bottom right of the popup to Save your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"edit-event-add-location-single-date\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Event-Add-Location-Single-Date.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Once you click on the Save button in the Add Event popup, you will be returned to the Edit Event page. \u00a0The Locations you just added will be highlighted in orange because they are not yet submitted.<\/li>\n
- To Submit your changes, scroll down to the bottom right of the page and click on the green Submit Changes button. \u00a0You’ll notice in the example below, the Event Counter has gone from 37 Events to 43 Events on 12\/28 since I added 6 additional Locations on that day. \u00a0Once you Submit your changes, the Portal will automatically send you a Confirmation email that outlines all of the changes made to your Request and copy all of the people you originally added to the Notify Users section of your Event Request.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

Adding Dates to a Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Toggle Edit Events to the Group by Location View<\/li>\n
- If your Request contains more than one Location, find the Location that you wish to Add Dates to and click on the Add Dates button to open the Add Event popup.<\/li>\n
- Click on the Calendar Icon to\u00a0select whichever Dates you would like to Add to that specific Location.<\/li>\n

Adding Events – Calendar Updates<\/strong><\/p>\nNow that I have added some Events by adding Locations to a Date and adding Dates to a Location, when I go back to the Calendar View and filter on my Request Number, the results will reflect the changes just made. \u00a0My original Event Request had Peanut Butter and Jelly running at 37 warehouses on 12\/28, 12\/29, and 12\/30. \u00a0The original Request had been Approved, otherwise I would not be able to Edit the Request (see Rules above for Editing Requests). \u00a0Before adding the Events to my original Request, the Calendar showed these Events on the Calendar as Splits (I selected 2 different Vendors invoice in the back end). \u00a0Now that I have edited the Request, the Calendar has the following updates:<\/p>\n
\n- 6 Locations were added to 12\/28 changing the Event Count from 37 to 43. \u00a0In addition, there are now Mixed Statuses on 12\/28 because the original 37 Events are Approved and 6 newly added Events are Waiting Approval so the Calendar has color coded the Events as Red (Split) with a Gold ring around it to indicate the Mixed Statuses.<\/li>\n
- 3 Dates were added to Location 116 for 12\/26, 12\/27, and 12\/31. \u00a0Since there were no other Events originally scheduled on these Dates, all 3 Dates show an Event Count of 1 color coded gray to indicate that they are Waiting Approval<\/li>\n
- No Events were added either by Date or Location to the original 37 Events on 12\/28 and 12\/29 so the Event Count remains at 37 for these Dates and they are color coded as Red (Splits).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/p>\n
Adding Dates AND Locations at the same time<\/strong><\/p>\nIf you need to Add Dates and Locations at the same time (similar to how you added Dates and Locations when you first created the Event Request), you can do this as follows:<\/p>\n
\n- Open up the Edit Event page.<\/li>\n
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the Add Event button (it is next to the Submit Changes button).<\/li>\n
- This will open up a popup where you can add Dates and Locations at the same time. \u00a0This is helpful if you have to add new Dates to All Locations. \u00a0Using the same Peanut Butter and Jelly example above, I will add a new weekend of Events at my original 37 Locations. \u00a0The process of using the Calendar and adding Locations should be familiar at this point.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"add-event-dates-and-locations\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Add-Event-Dates-and-Locations.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- As with adding previous Events, the new Events will show up highlighted in orange on the Edit Events page until you click on the Submit button to save your changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Edit Events – Bulk Editing Event Rules<\/strong><\/p>\nThe Edit Event functionality in the Portal allows you to multi-select Events to Edit (or Select All) so that you can make Bulk updates to your Requests. \u00a0When Bulk Editing, there are a few rules to keep in mind:<\/p>\n
\n- The fields that available to be Edited are driven by the Events you have selected. \u00a0Some fields may not be available based on your selection. \u00a0For example if I select 2 Events at 116 on 12\/26 and 12\/27, when I click on the Edit button, I will not have an option to change the Date to 12\/23 because that would create duplicate Events at 116 on 12\/23 which is not allowed. \u00a0The same example holds true for the inverse example. \u00a0If I select 2 Events at 116 and 124 on 12\/29, I cannot edit the Location to 121 as this would create duplicate Events at 121 on 12\/29. \u00a0Please keep this in mind when Bulk Editing Events. \u00a0If you do not see the field you want to edit after you have selected your Events, editing this field would create some sort of duplicate conflict.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/p>\n
Edit Events – Bulk Editing Events\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nTo Bulk Edit Events follow these steps:<\/p>\n
\n- Open the Edit Events page. \u00a0Remember, this will open up your entire Request to Edit (All Dates, All Locations)<\/li>\n
- Select how you want to view your Event Data using the View By drop down to switch between Events Grouped by Date and Events Grouped by Location<\/li>\n
- There are a number of ways to select the Events you want to Edit. \u00a0You can click on an individual Event to select it. \u00a0You can continue to click on Events one at a time and they will turn blue with a check mark to show that they have been selected. \u00a0You can also use the Select All button that is included in each group of Events. \u00a0Once you have selected at least 1 Event for Editing, you will notice that the Edit button at the top of the section will change to green meaning it can now be clicked to Edit however many Events you have selected.<\/li>\n
- To unselect Events, you can click on the individual Events you have already selected and they will change from blue back to gray to show that they have been deselected. \u00a0You can also use the Clear Selection button next to the Select All button to deselect all of the Events in that group.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

<\/p>\n
\n- Once you have selected the Events that you want to change, click on the green Edit button at the top of the section. \u00a0The Edit Event popup. \u00a0Keep in mind that the Events you have selected will drive which fields are available for Edit in the Edit Event popup (see Rules above).<\/li>\n
- In the Edit Event popup you can edit Dates, Locations, Enhancements, PO Numbers, Notes\/Instructions, or Cancel the selected Events. \u00a0For this example, I have selected multiple Locations and multiple dates so those options are not available to Edit (see Rules).<\/li>\n
- I am adding and additional Enhancement for KS 2% Milk for just the Events that I have selected.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"edit-events-update-enhancements\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Events-Update-Enhancements.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Once you have made your Edits, click on the blue Save button in the bottom right of the popup. \u00a0This will return you to the Edit Events page where the Events that you have made Edits to will be highlighted in Orange.<\/li>\n
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the green Submit Changes to update your Event Request. \u00a0After you submit your changes, the Portal will send out an email with a Summary of all of the changes you have submitted to you and all of the people you added to the Notify Users section of the original Event Request. \u00a0All of the Events you have Edited will be changed back to Waiting Approval until they have been reviewed by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Sample Edit Event Confirmation Email<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"edit-event-confirmation-email\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Event-Confirmation-Email-1.png\")
<\/p>\n
Edit Events – Editing Events that are Waiting Approval or Need More Information<\/strong><\/p>\nIn the Rules about Editing Events, one rule was that before an Event could be edited, it had to be Approved by the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team. \u00a0This is only true for when the Request is first submitted. \u00a0If you remember, the reason why the Request could not be edited was due to the fact that there was data that the Daymon team had to add to the Request in order to complete it in the System. \u00a0Once this has been completed for a Request, ALL Events in the Request can be edited regardless of what Approval Status they are in.<\/p>\n
Edit Events – Finding and\/or Editing Events that Need More Information<\/strong><\/p>\nIf the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team needs more information about an Event (or ALL Events in a Request), the Portal will send you an email with the details. \u00a0The email will provide the details such as Date, Location, etc. along with the Information being requested by the Daymon team. \u00a0You can also see and\/or update this data in the Edit Event page for the Request as follows:<\/p>\n
\n- Open the Edit Events page for the Request in question.<\/li>\n
- If you know the Date and Location of the Event in question, you can click on it to open up the Edit Event popup. \u00a0If you are not sure or you have multiple Events in Need More Information Status, you can use the Approval Status filter in the Header of the Edit Events page to show ONLY Events that Need More Information<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
![\"edit-event-needs-more-information\"](\"http:\/\/bpwhatsnew.demosystem.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Edit-Event-Needs-More-Information.png\")
<\/p>\n
\n- Click on the green Edit button to open up the Edit Event popup. \u00a0In the popup you will see a Note from the Daymon Sales & Scheduling Team asking for whatever information they need. \u00a0In some cases, if the issue is complex, you may need to contact the Daymon Sales & Scheduling team directly to resolve. \u00a0If it is a simple issue that is easily resolved, you can write a reply in the Notes section in the Edit Event popup to send your answer back to the Daymon Team.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
