Event Management App – Quick Start Guide

This Quick Start Guide helps you install and configure the Event Management app in just a few minutes. For detailed, step‑by‑step walkthroughs, please refer to our full installation articles.

Before you start

To install the Event Management app for the first time in your Microsoft 365 tenant, you must be a Microsoft 365 Global Administrator.

Site recommendations

We strongly recommend using a dedicated SharePoint site for the Event Management app to simplify permissions, management, and long‑term maintenance. The bot guided installation allows you to select an existing site or create a new site for you. If you prefer to install the app to your SharePoint website manually, please prepare the website before you start with Option 2.

Trial information

When the app is installed for the first time in your tenant, a 30‑day trial begins automatically—no manual activation is required.

Installation options

You can install the Event Management app using one of the following methods:

Option 1: Bot‑Guided installation (via Microsoft Teams)

Option 2: Install directly from the SharePoint Store / Microsoft Marketplace

Once the app has been added to your tenant:

  1. Open the SharePoint site where you want to install the app. Important: Don’t configure the app on your tenant app catalog site. Open the site you prepared (see Site Recommendations) to install and configure the app there.

  2. Click New → App.

  3. Add the SharePoint|sapiens Event Management app to the site.

After installation, you will see a notification banner with:

▶ “Click here to start the configuration”

Click it and follow the steps to complete the setup.

 

For more information, open the step-by-step installation guide.

Next steps

After the app is installed and the initial configuration is completed, we recommend the following:

1. Configure site permissions

If you want to grant others access to the Event Management site:

  • Add enrollees to the Site Visitors group
    (read-only access; for people who only sign up or view events)

  • Add event organizers to the Site Members group
    (edit permissions; for managing events)

This ensures users receive the appropriate level of access.

2. Set up email configuration

For a reliable production setup, we recommend using a dedicated Exchange Online mailbox for sending event-related notifications.

3. Explore advanced features

Once the basics are in place, you can configure optional advanced features, integrations, templates, and automation.
All advanced configuration topics are documented in our detailed help articles.
