Schedule Huddle Event with a Due Date 

Schedule Huddle Options:

  1. Due Date: This section allows the creator to set when the Huddle will be due for their participants. Once the Due Date option has been selected. The Due Date can be set. You can set a Huddle Event to be Self-Paced which removes any due dates. 
  2. Time: By default the Time option is unchecked. If you want the Huddle Event to be due at a specific time, you can check the Time box and set the Due Time. 
  3. Recurring: You can set a Huddle Event to be recurring which will create another Scheduled Event after a specified interval and reassign the same users.
  4. Huddle: Here the creator can specify which Huddle Template they would like to use to create the Event. By default, the Huddle Template that was used to Schedule the Event is selected. 
  5. Assign To: This section is used to assign the users to the Huddle Event. You can type the name of the User/Team/Group/Segment and select them. The selected entities will get the Huddle Event assigned to them. 
  6. Send Invitation Email: Here the creator can choose to send an invitation email to the user(s) that were added to the Event and also add customized text in the Text Box. By default, the Send Invitation Email box is checked. If you do not wish to send an email to the Event assignees, you can uncheck the box. 

Note: If the invitation email box is checked, any users that are added to this Huddle event after it has been published will receive an invitation email.

Once “Schedule Huddle” has been clicked, the page will automatically redirect the user to the Huddle Event page. This page has a unique URL that is different from the Template:

Schedule Huddle Event as Self-paced

The Self-paced Huddle Events allow a user to complete the Huddle Event assigned to them at their own pace.The Huddle Event set as a Self-paced does not have a due-date. 

To Schedule a Huddle Event as Self-paced, simply select the Self-paced option under the Due Date in the pop-up window generated to Schedule Huddle. 

The options for the Self-paced Event are the same as for the Event with a Due Date except that the Self-paced Event does not contain a Due Date. 

In the Assign To box, you can type the name of the User/Team/Group/Segment and select them. Click Schedule and Assign button to get the Self-paced Event assigned to the selected entities.
