Would be great if you could enable the ability to 'clone' or 'copy' or 'duplicate' an Event the same way you can 'copy' a Service in Amelia. Would make data entry so much faster.
Here's the scenario:
We sell a 6 week program where people pick a time slot they will attend weekly for the next 6 weeks
The way we do this now is to create a New Event with the following details:
Title: 6 wk program Wed 1-2pm
Dates*: we add each date and time separately for the Wed 1-2pm time slot for the 6 week program
Maximum allowed spots: 8 (for Covid reasons)
Price: $0.00 (we ask people to pay for the whole 6 weeks using Woocommerce first (eg. https://book.sharprgroup.com/futuro), then we give them the link to this special booking page: (eg. http://book.sharprgroup.com/futuro1)
Create a special tag for the event (eg. futuro10-21)
Set location, staff, description, images, payment settings, etc...)
*Dates: we found that manually entering each date/time was better than using the 'recurring event' feature for several reasons:
enables the use of special 'tag' (eg. [ameliaevents tag="futuro10-21"] ) so we only show the first event in the series to register for (See what I mean here: http://book.sharprgroup.com/futuro1).
the email confirmation of the event then contains ALL the dates and times the user signed up for in 1 single confirmation email
it clearly shows the user how many people are signed up for each time slot for that 6 week program
THEN,
We end up having to REPEAT these exact same steps for:
every time slot we want to run
every repeating 6 week session
(this is the only way we've been able to get around some of Amelia's quirks at setting up repeating programs)
OUR ASK
Enable a copy ⎘ button in the 'Create New Event' section, similar to the way you've set up copying a 'Service'.
Thank you for your feedback. I totally agree with you on this, and I can say that our development team has this planned for one of our future updates.
I cannot say when it will be added, but I'll see to it that they are informed this is a much needed feature. I'll kindly ask you to add it as a feature suggestion on this page. Features are pushed up on our "to-do" list when there are a lot of customers requesting those features, so having your vote as a customer can be beneficial to this feature being developed sooner.
