When to Use External Events
Use External Events when:
- You want to plan ahead for known absences or events.
- You need a visual reminder in your calendar.
- You expect to need a substitute teacher or SNA.
- You want to keep notes organised for future bookings.

How to Add an External Event
1. Select Calendar from the left-hand menu.
2.Select Add External Events.3. Enter the event details, a name or description, the date, and any notes about staffing and press Save Event.
Note: External events are for planning only. They don't send anything to Substitute Teachers or SNAs. When you're ready to request cover, create a booking as normal.

Use external events to:
- Flag days when multiple staff may be absent.
