Cancel an Event

You must have Events Manage privileges to cancel an event. Note: You must cancel an event from the Group Event Details page; you cannot cancel an event elsewhere.

To cancel an event:

  1. From Group Home, click the name of the group whose event you want to cancel. This takes you to the home page for that group.
  1. To find the event you want to cancel:
  2. If the event is listed in the Upcoming Events section, click the name of the event to go to its details page. Go to Step 4 below. If the event is not listed, click the Calendar tab. This takes you to the group calendar for that group. Do one of the following:
    • If the event occurs in the current month, find it in the chronological list to the left of the calendar. An icon for the event also appears on the calendar on the event date. Click the event name in the list or the corresponding icon on the calendar to go to its details page. Go to Step 4 below.
    • If the event occurs in a month other than the current month, select the month and year from the drop-down lists below the calendar heading and click View. To view the month immediately preceding the current month, click the Previous links/arrows above the calendar. To view the month immediately following the current month, click the Next links/arrows above the calendar. Find the event in the chronological list to the left of the calendar. An icon for the event also appears on the calendar on the event date. Click the event name in the list or the corresponding icon on the calendar to go to its details page. Go to Step 4 below.
  3. On the details page, review the event details and click Cancel. This takes you to the Cancel Event page.
  4. On the Event Cancel page, review the details. If the event is a Repeating Event, you have the option to just cancel the event on this particular day or to "Cancel future events as well".
  5. For Email Notifications, you can check the boxes to send email about the document to your group and to all the groups with whom you've decided to share the event. In addition, you can CC additional email addresses.
  6. For Submitter Note, you may enter text that will appear at the top of your notification email.

Note: If you do not want a notification email sent, leave these options unchecked, and leave the text box blank

  1. Click Cancel This Event. If you do not want to cancel the event(s), click Done to return to the group home page.
  2. If you click Cancel this event, the message OK. Event Cancelled appears in blue text above the Name section heading. The cancelled event icon appears over the event type icon, and the word "cancelled" appears in red next to the event name. The event remains on the list to the left of the appropriate month's group calendar, but the event icon now has the cancelled icon over it. The event icon on the calendar itself also now has the cancelled icon over it.

Note: The event details for the cancelled event(s) are still available for viewing. Associated document(s) are not deleted when an event is cancelled. You may also wish to permanently Delete an event.

  1. Continue cancelling events or click Done to return to the group home page.

Tip: If you cancelled the event in error, you can easily uncancel it by clicking Uncancel this event.
