Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to some of the most common questions about MyEvents.
What is MyEvents?
A modern events management system with a SQL Server backend (that's a bit techy I know) with data that's backed up every night.
Who is MyEvents designed for?
Although we've geared My Events to Facebook groups it could be any type of group that needs to manage its events.
Can I track payments through the app?
We haven't gone as far as adding card payment functionality to the app since that's not quite where we're aiming this application. The idea is that if one of your members sends you money or gives you cash for an event (a deposit or the full payment) then you can record it and keep track of who has paid what. If you're an active group running multiple concurrent events it'll really help.
Does the system handle multiple admins?
Yes it does. Once you've got multiple admins each managing their own events and associated payments My Events will really help.
Is there a limit to the number of members?
No there's no limit to the number of members you can have stored in the database
Can I record meal choices and allergies?
Yes. If you're a large group (10/15+) attending a restaurant it's not uncommon for the venue to ask for pre-orders so the app allows you to record these and to take the relevant payments should you so choose. That way there's no messing about at the end of the meal with who's got to pay what - which makes it easier for you and the venue. Allergies can be a matter of life or death in extreme cases so our system allows you to record a member's allergies and these can be included in any print outs that you give to restaurants along with pre-orders.
How does the free trial work?
We create an instance of the application dedicated to you at MyEvents.org.uk/'your group name'. We create one admin record for you (you can add the others) and add you group logo then it's up to you to have a play for two months. If you like the application we'll ask you to pay the annual fee otherwise we'll turn your instance off - as simple as that. NOTE - if you'd prefer to have your own dedicated URL then we can arrange that as well for an additional charge.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Each group's data will be stored in it's own SQL database (if you don't know what SQL Server is don't worry just know that it's rebust and secure).The data will be backed up every night on a rolling 7 day basis.
Can I cancel my subscription at any time?
We don't offer a part-refund if you decide to stop using the system part way through a year but you're only committed on an annual basis - and the charge is, we believe, qute low for the functionality offered.
How do I get started?
Fill in the details on the Contact Us page and we'll be in touch.
Can I make suggestions for new features that might make the app even better and will it cost me extra?
Yes, just drop us a line and if we like your idea we'll get it implemented. If it's a good idea then it's in our interest to add the feature so that we can sell for copies - so No you won't have to pay extra.
