pickAtime User Guide

Go into the Events Preview page and select Event Settings and you will see the propagate changes to all events options. This means that any change you make to a setting will automatically be applied to all events of the same type. Note that it will not change all settings automatically, but only when you make a change to a setting. To have changes apply only to a single event, make sure this is set to "propagate to only current event". 

This Propagate Settings feature is a powerful administrative tool that functions as a "global sync" for your event configurations. It is designed to save time by eliminating the need to manually update identical settings across multiple events.

How Propagation Works

The system acts on a "trigger" basis rather than a constant sync.

• Dynamic Updating: Changes are only pushed to other events at the moment you modify a setting. The changes only apply to the following pages: Settings / UI Setup page, Settings / Vendor View Setup page,  the Settings / Notifications Setup page, and the Settings / CUI Messages pages.
• Targeted Scope: You have the option to apply your changes only to events of the same type or the same category ensuring you don't accidentally overwrite settings on unrelated categories (e.g., applying a "Flu Clinic" setting to a "Physical Therapy" event).
• The Safety Toggle: If you need to customize a single event without affecting your entire template, you must switch the setting to "Propagate to only current event."

Best Practices for Admins

⚠️ Important Note: Always double-check this toggle before leaving the page. If you leave global propagation on by mistake, a minor change intended for one date could unintentionally rewrite the settings for dozens of others.
