Cancelling or Deleting an Event

Open

For a multitude of reasons, an event might need to be cancelled. If that happens, it should not be deleted altogether in Beatrix. Instead, the better option is to change the Status of the Event to Cancelled.

You can delete an event altogether, which will be described at the end of these instructions.

The following instructions provide information on cancelling an event or deleting it altogether.

Table of Contents

Navigating to the Event

To start deleting or removing an event from a website:

1. Visit https:beatrix.yale.edu.

2. Log in with your NetID and password.

3. Click Events in the navigation.

This will take you to the Update and Edit Events page, where you can find the article with the filter options or by scrolling through the list.

Cancelling an Event

Once you find the event, click on it to edit it. In the Event Occurence Info, edit the Occurence Status.

Open

Change the Occurence Status to Cancelled

You can see an event’s status in the listings.

Additionally, Cancelled Events still show up on websites in the Calendar (shown below), which is good because people can see that an event has been cancelled, as opposed to it just disappearing.

Deleting an Event

Again, an event rarely should be deleted altogether. Deleting an event will remove it from every event listing it appears on, not just your website. However, if it was made in error and you have to delete it, start by clicking on the Event.

Scroll to final step of the workflow for adding an Event: Publish.

• You can use the red Delete button in the bottom right of the article workflow to delete the article (highlighted in yellow below).
