*() denotes some editing features are available only to Department Administrators**

Tab through the form fields and fill in all the required information.

It is important to include the Event Category you are submitting an event to. In order for an event to be published by a user, it will be reviewed by an administrator Everything that has an asterisk next to it, has to be filled in.

Several things to keep in mind:

1. This gives you the option to choose the level that you wish to publish your event to. Users can publish their page and request a review by an administrator for publication to a department web page or to the PCC web site.

2. Event title should provide enough information so that someone can tell what the event is, without reading the entire description.

i.e. PCC vs. East L.A.

3. An event's Start Date and End Date, are the dates that the event takes place. You must complete the Start and End Dates. Most events occur on a single day, so these dates will be the same. If the event is a continuing event for several days, like a gallery show, you can enter the beginning and ending dates.

4. Start Time and End Time should specify the hours the event takes place.

5. The Location provides a building and/or a room number. If you need more space to describe the location, detail the rest in the description.

6. Cost, sponsor and web site are optional. Include a sponsor if you want to give credit to the organization putting on the event. A web site address can provide more information relating to the event or the information inside the description. Include a full address: http://www.pasadena.edu

7. Along with describing the event, put anything that you cannot put intot the other fields here like parking information or gallery hours.

8. You may include an Image along with your event. You may "optimize" your images for the web by downloading the provided actionscript for Adobe Photoshop. You may also contact the New Media Center, LL120 or webcoord@pasadena.edu for help.

Thumbnail images, will usually appear with your event listing and must be no bigger than either 100 pixels in either height or width (one dimension can be larger depending on whether the image is portrait or landscape).
Large images will appear on the event detail, and must be no bigger in one dimension than 300 to 400 pixels. All images for the web should have a resolution between 72 and 96 dpi.

Once you have optimized your picture or art clip for the web, you simply "browse" to your copy of the image on your local computer file. When you locate the file in your computer, and select it with "open", this will complete the necessary information for the Portal to load your image to the web site.

9. This is where you include your contact information.

10. When you are done filling everything out, you should look back over your information to make sure everything is correct and click Submit. A confirmation page will appear. It is a good idea to return and View the item before you logout of the portal to be sure everything is as you intended.
