Last updated August 5, 2026
Objective
This guide explains the key settings available in the Events section of Recur, including system time zones, custom data forms, and event templates.
Key Steps
Step 1: Navigate to Event Settings
Start from the home screen.
Go to Settings.
Click Events to open the event configuration page.
Step 2: Configure the System Time Zone
Locate the System Time Zone setting.
Set the time zone that best represents your organization or the location of your administrators.
This ensures events display the correct time when viewed from different locations.
Events created in other time zones will automatically adjust based on the configured system time zone.
Step 3: Understand Custom Data Forms
Custom data forms allow you to collect additional information during event registration.
These forms add extra input fields for attendees when they sign up for an event.
For example, you may ask attendees about:
Dietary restrictions
Accessibility needs
Session preferences
Step 4: Review Event Templates
Scroll to the Event Templates section.
Event templates allow you to quickly create events that occur regularly.
Common examples include:
Webinars
Monthly meetings
Annual conferences
Step 5: Understand Event Template Types
Recur provides multiple event template structures:
Standalone Events – Single events with no related sessions.
Conference Templates – Large events that include multiple sessions.
Session Templates – Individual sessions that belong to a conference event.
Cautionary Notes
Ensure your system time zone is configured correctly before creating events to avoid scheduling confusion.
Custom data forms should only include questions necessary for the event registration process.
Tips for Efficiency
Use event templates to simplify the setup process for recurring events.
Create custom data forms for information that is specific to certain events.
Review event settings periodically to ensure they match your organization’s needs.
