How To: Create and Edit an Event

Events are the activities your carpool drives to, like soccer practice or the school run. Any member of a carpool can add, edit and delete its events.

Find your events

1. Tap Carpools at the bottom of the screen.
2. Tap your carpool.
3. Tap the events count (for example 3 Events). If the carpool has no events yet, tap Add Events to create the first one.

Create an event

1. In the events list, tap Event at the bottom of the screen.
2. Fill in the form and tap Save.

Required:

• Event Name, for example "Soccer Practice".
• Add Event Location: pick a saved place or add a new one.
• At least one direction:
  • Rides TO Event if riders need a ride there; set the Start Time.
  • Rides FROM Event if riders need a ride home; set the End Time.

Optional:

• The emoji: tap the icon to choose one.
• Recurrence: how often the event repeats (see below); a new event starts as Once.
• Event Date: for a one-time event, the day it happens.
• Start Date and End Date (Optional): for a repeating event, when it starts and stops; leave the end blank to keep it going.
• Set Reminder: get a notification before the event.
• Notes / Instructions: anything drivers and riders should know.

Set how often it repeats

A new event happens once, so for a match or a trip just check the Event Date and save. Tap Recurrence to make it repeat:

• Once: a single date.
• Daily: every 1 to 30 days.
• Weekly: every 1 to 10 weeks, on the weekdays you pick.
• Monthly: every 1 to 12 months, by Day of Month (for example the 1st and 15th) or by Week and Day (for example the last Friday).

Edit an event

1. Open the events list (see Find your events).
2. Tap ⋮ on the event's card.
3. Tap Edit, make your changes, and tap Save.

How to delete an event

Deleting removes the event and all of its days from the carpool. To cancel just one day, skip it instead (see below).

1. Open the events list (see Find your events).
2. Tap ⋮ on the event's card.
3. Tap Delete.
4. Kid Hop asks "Remove event name?"; tap YES.

How to skip one day

Skip a day when the event isn't happening that day, for example a holiday. The rest of the schedule stays as it is.

1. Open your carpool and tap Organizer, or on a ride screen tap ⋮ and then Ride Organizer.
2. Find the day's card and tap its ⋮.
3. Tap Skip This Day.
4. On the Skip Event Date screen, add a reason if you like (for example "Winter Break"); it's optional.
5. Tap Skip Date.

The day shows SKIPPED in the Ride Organizer. To bring it back, tap ⋮ on the day's card, tap Restore This Day, then tap Restore.

Troubleshooting

• "Start time cannot be after End time": Set the End Time later than the Start Time.
• "End date cannot be before start date": Move the End Date (Optional) after the Start Date, or clear it.
• "A Name is Required" or "Location is required": Fill in the Event Name and Add Event Location fields.
• You can't turn off both directions: Every event needs Rides TO Event, Rides FROM Event, or both.
