The event schedule then updates itself regularly according to the connected source. ## **Module location** - Go to **Management > Events > Event imports.** ## **Creating an import** - You choose via **“+” Source: Czech Baseball Association** - An individual import is made for each competition (so if you have 5 teams in 5 competitions, you fill in the form 5 times) - form: - **Competition**: select the competition you want to import events from > **Warning:** Be careful when selecting, the list also includes competitions that are no longer current, which you can tell from the following row **Year**. - **Year**: select the season - **Team**: select your **club** - **Event type** - select which event type in EOS the newly imported events should be created as. [ Event types Create and set up custom event types suitable for your organization. These will be assigned to individual events, which will behave according to the parameters set in each type. ](https://help.eos.cz/en/articles/116.md) - **Organizational unit** - if you have Organizational units created and the events should be assigned only to a specific Organizational unit, select it here. If you do not have Organizational units, leave the whole organization. - **Season** - select which season in EOS the events should be imported into. - **Teams** - select the team the events are intended for. If you do not select any, the events will be imported “for the whole organization” (you can also tick this option). In that case you will not find them among team events, but on the “For the whole organization” tab. - **Match length**: preset to 150 minutes, can be changed. - **Grouping events:** - do not group: events are imported as separate events into EOS. - by date: events taking place on the same day are grouped into one event in EOS. This event then contains all the information about the individual sub-events. This is used, for example, when importing matches where there are several matches on one day, from which one large event is created representing, say, a whole tournament, which is then better organized as one unit. - **Name** - you choose the name yourself. - Leave **Active ticked.** - What is pulled in: - match start = event start - team name and match number = written into the event name - competition and result = written into the event description - match venue = event venue and into the description ## Working with imported events After connecting, on the **Event imports** screen you see a list of the imports you have created. ### Search, displayed columns, custom views - Thanks to the **Search** row you can find any event by its name. - The **Displayed columns** button shows only selected columns, with the option to sort them freely. You can add these: - **Name** of the import you chose - **Import service**: Czech Baseball Association - **Status** (according to the data EOS obtains from the association): - **OK** – the last import went well - **In progress** – the import is currently running - **Failed** – the last import was not successful - **Not working** – the import failed several times in a row (the last successful import was at least three days ago) - **Waiting** – the import is queued for processing but is not running yet - **Did not finish** – the import was terminated abnormally - **Ended** – the data has expired - **Last update** – the date and time of the last update - **Next update** – the date and time of the next update (if available from the association) - **Active** – yes/no - **Valid until** – the date and time until which the connection is valid - **Date created** - **Date deleted** - **ID** – the identification number of the import - **Event type** – the event type you selected in EOS for the imported events - **Last change** – the date of the last change - **Last error** – the date of the last error - By clicking **the Default view button** you can work with **views** – save a filtered view for use next time or manage previously saved views.  > **Success:** Choose any columns you use regularly, save a view that you can load within a few seconds at any time and you do not have to select the columns manually. ### Further work with imports - Right-click the import or the context menu (**three dots**) and you get the options: - **Edit** the import - **Import now** – manual start of the current event import from the given source - **Delete** – irreversibly deletes the configured event import You then work with imported events in the same way as with events created manually in the platform. You can edit them, copy them, add attachments to them and so on. If you had the events imported as an **Event type** _WITHOUT attendance tracking_, you can **Convert to a nomination**, **Convert to an e-application** or **Convert to organizing**. Your members will find them in their calendars and can sign up for them. [ Converting and copying events General events without attendance can be converted in EOS to any other kind of event. So you can turn a general event into a nomination, for example. Another useful option is copying events. ](https://help.eos.cz/en/articles/149.md) ## Permissions and access **Management permission:** Managing event imports requires permission for the **Events** module.
