Event Calendar

Create, edit, and manage events on your calendar.

Last Updated on June 26, 2026

How do I create an event?

Creating an event in ShoSoft takes two clicks. You can fill in everything else later.

Steps

  1. From the Dashboard, Calendar or Event List, click Create Event.
  2. Enter the event name and date(s). That’s all that’s required to save.
  3. Click Create Event. Your event is now live on the calendar.
  4. Add the rest as you go: client, spaces, inventory, workforce, and tasks.

How do I edit an event?

Steps

  1. Open the event from the Calendar or Event List.
  2. Select the field you want to update (name, dates, status, or any other detail).
  3. No save button. Updates save as you go.

What do event statuses mean?

Every event in ShoSoft carries one of seven statuses:

  • On Hold: tentatively scheduled. An event is considered “On Hold” after it’s initially created. Assign it a space to confirm it.
  • Confirmed: booked and happening.
  • Live: event is currently happening.
  • Canceled: cancelled after being booked.
  • Completed: the event has happened but hasn’t been fully paid out yet.
  • Closed: the event has happened and is fully paid out.
  • Released: a date that was previously held but is now available again.

How do I find an event that isn’t showing up on my calendar?

If an event isn’t showing up where you expect, it’s almost always a filter or access issue, not a missing event.

Steps

  1. Open the Calendar and check your status filters. Events outside the selected statuses won’t show.
  2. Confirm your date range includes the event’s dates.
  3. Check that you have permission to view that event. Access depends on your role and event scope.
