Manage your event tasks

Event management tasks are tasks associated with session-based classes such as ILT, Virtual, or Blended solely for administrators and event managers to help them organize and track different activities required to be completed before or after the class to run the class smoothly.

These activities might range from external tasks such as ordering, catering, and travel booking, physical tasks such as setting up classroom equipment, or tasks that need to be performed in Cornerstone Saba such as preparing the roster, sending out class invites, following up with evaluations, or sending out survey links for collecting feedback.

The 'event manager' is an individual who is assigned the Learning Admin - Event Task Manager role in Cornerstone Saba.

By default, this role has edit, view, delete, and new privileges on the event task component and only view privilege on event task template component. The role also has access to the portlet and can view courses and classes they have been assigned to as event managers.

System administrators can configure this role by navigating to System > Manage Security > Security Roles. While people administrator can assign the role to individuals.

If you are assigned this role, then you get access to the Event Management Tasks portlet the Cornerstone Saba Home page. The portlet displays a list of all event tasks assigned to classes where you are the designated event manager. From this portlet, you can manage all your class event tasks and control their statuses and properties.

The Event Management Tasks portlet allows you to view and manage all event tasks that are assigned to your classes. You can add this portlet to your Home page like any other Cornerstone Saba portlet.

By default, the portlet displays all your class events in the Not Started and In Progress statuses.

You can use filters to quickly search for the required tasks, view task details, and perform various actions on them such as changing the task status, and so on. You can even create event tasks for one or more of your classes directly from the portlet.

Once an event task is deleted, it is no more displayed in the portlet.
