titleUsage

Events in Handshake can be used in a multitude of ways. The most common and recommended use would be for very specific short-term events. It is not recommended to use Events as a placeholder for non-event items or for events that are multi-week/month (or more). Please contact handshake@syr.edu for recommendations on adjusting or accommodating your office needs.

Note
Please see the updated (June 2022) Help Center guide on Creating an Event which supports providing information on the new event creation form layout.

The Events page will list all events. It is highly recommended to create and save default search filters to support your office or position needs when working with this section of Handshake. For example, you may want to create a search filter based around your office 'event label' or events created only by your Career Center.

Note
When using Analytics, it can be cumbersome to aggregate data based on all the criteria needed to drill-down your event data by only those provided by your department or that your department was directly involved in. It is recommended to create a generic office label (e.g.: 'central - cs' or 'ecs - cs') to be added to all events provided by your office. This allows you to quickly and efficiently utilize Analytics reporting for your events based on the label, rather than multiple filter drill-downs.

Lastly, make sure your office is ready to approve relevant events on a weekly basis throughout the year. For example, the staff at the College of Engineering and Computer Science may want to make sure that  events posted directly from Google have been approved before the event expires.

Tip
titlePro Tip!

Is your event of a certain type where you would like attendees to receive a certain label?

Attach an Attendee Survey that has an associated label for those who complete the survey!

When creating a survey in Handshake, you're allowed to add a label for those who have completed the survey. Associating a survey with a label attached to an event will allow you to keep track of students who might have attended a certain annual event, immersion trip, or other event of this nature.
