  Sosauce introduces both an Events Mini-App and an Events Sticky!  Use the Events mini-app to keep track of all your friend’s birthdays, keep your own to-do list, or create an activity.  Then use the Events Sticky to let your friends know of that backyard BBQ you have coming up! How to Create an Event You can access your Events Mini-App via the Header and at your Home.     From the Header, all you need to do is to mouse over the Home link and click on Events.   At your Home (ex. Updates or Profile Gallery), click on the Events link underneath the page title:   Once you're on your Events page, you can add an event to any day by clicking on the "Add Event" button that appears when you rollover the date on the calendar itself.     Clicking "Add" will bring up a few fields for you to fill out. As far as information about the event, only the event title is required, everything else is optional. Let’s say you are planning a backyard BBQ for Labor Day weekend.  After adding in the details your event and selecting 'Save This Event' it will look something like this:       The event will now show up in different places on your calendar.  The first is on your ‘Upcoming Events’ list and the second is as a yellow sticky note on the calendar itself.     One of the best attributes of the events you create with your Events Mini-App is that you have options regarding their exposure.  One important note is that no one else can see your Events Mini-App, not even your friends.  Like the Messages, the Calendar is for your eyes only.   However you do have privacy options for the Events Sticky at your Profile Gallery like all other Sosauce Stickies.    If you can’t find it and would like to add it, simply select Events from the Sticky Library at the bottom of your Profile Gallery.      Events follow the same standard privacy categories of private (only you can view), friends (friends and you can view), and public (everyone on Sosauce can view).   To set the privacy of an event, simply open the event by clicking on the event name on the yellow event design in your Events Mini-App.      The privacy setting is found at the bottom left.  You also have the ability to allow others to copy the event to their own calendar.      If you allow copy privileges, anybody who sees the event can copy it to their own calendar.  Just so you know, people who copy an event cannot modify the event.     Your Events Sticky When you create an event, it will appear on your Events Sticky in your Profile Gallery.  As mentioned before, whether or not other people see this event depends on the privacy settings you set.  Your Events Sticky has two views, List and Flyer .  The default view is List, and the events will appear on your Sticky as shown below.     You can change the display to ‘Flyer’ view by clicking on the customize icon (top right of the Sticky; third icon from the right) and changing from ‘List’ view under the Sticky Size / Content menu. Flyer view looks like this:   That's it!  Have fun with these features, and if you have any questions, check out our Help section at the top or bottom of the page.    If our Help section isn’t sufficient, use the Feedback link at the top bottom of page and shoot us a question.  We’d be happy to help!   Enjoy Events.
