Blue Sky Cares

Blue Sky Cares is the community section of the website at www.roofingboss.ai/community. You manage it in the Studio under Blue Sky Cares. Anyone invited to the Studio can edit it.

What visitors seeCopy Anchor Link

• The community page: your heading and impact numbers, the Upcoming events calendar grouped by month (with Happening now first), the partners under Who we support (grouped into Nonprofits, Local schools, and Youth sports teams), Recent highlights from past events, and buttons to volunteer or ask about sponsorship.
• Event pages: a breadcrumb trail at the top (Home, Blue Sky Cares, then the event's title), the date and time in Eastern time, the place with a directions link, a sign-up button, Add to calendar links, the details, partner cards, and, after the event, the recap and photos.
• The homepage: the next three events, after the customer dock. Featured events go first, and cancelled events are left out.
• Subscribe on the calendar adds every event to a visitor's Apple, Outlook, or Google calendar. Their calendar picks up new events, changes, and cancellations.

Add an eventCopy Anchor Link

1. Under Blue Sky Cares, select Upcoming events.
2. Click the create button (pencil icon) at the top of the list.
3. Fill in the Details tab, then the Sign-up tab. The event stays hidden while you write, because Show on the website starts off. You can still preview it in Presentation.
4. On the Details tab, turn on Show on the website when the event is ready.

A shown event appears on the calendar once it has both a Slug and a Starts time. Until then, the Studio's events lists show "Not on the calendar yet" under its name. While Show on the website is off, they show "Hidden from the site" instead.

Starts and Ends always use Eastern time, wherever you are, and the site shows the same times. On the site, an event counts as over when it ends: two hours after it starts if Ends is blank, or after its last day if it's all-day. In the Studio, it moves from Upcoming events to Past events a day after it ends.

Set up sign-upsCopy Anchor Link

The event's button follows these rules:

• With a Sign-up link, the button opens it. It reads Sign up to volunteer, or Learn more when Looking for volunteers is off.
• With no link, an event that's looking for volunteers gets Email us to volunteer, a pre-filled email to the community page's Contact email.
• With no contact email either, the button is Call to volunteer.
• Cancelled events and events that are over have no button.

Cancel or postpone an eventCopy Anchor Link

Rained out or rescheduled? Change Status instead of deleting the event, so visitors see what happened.

• Cancelled: the event stays on the calendar with a Cancelled badge, and its page says it has been cancelled. The sign-up button and calendar links go away, it drops off the homepage, and subscribers' calendars mark it cancelled.
• Postponed: the event stays on the calendar with a Postponed badge, and its page says the new date will be posted. When you know the new date, change Starts (and Ends) and set Status back to Scheduled.

In the Studio's events lists, the status shows under the event's name, before its date, such as "Cancelled".

Once their date passes, cancelled and postponed events are left out of Recent highlights.

Hide an eventCopy Anchor Link

To take an event off the site without deleting it, turn off Show on the website. A hidden event is left off the calendar, the homepage, Recent highlights, and the Subscribe feed, and visitors who go to its address see "We couldn't find that page". The Studio's events lists and Presentation both say "Hidden from the site". To tell visitors a date changed or an event won't go ahead, cancel or postpone it instead.

Events added before this switch existed have it neither on nor off, and stay on the site until you turn it off.

Preview a hidden eventCopy Anchor Link

A hidden event still opens in the Studio's Presentation tool, in the real page layout, so you can finish it before anyone else sees it.

1. Give it a Title, a Slug, and a Starts time.
2. Click Presentation at the top of the Studio and go to the event's page, or pick the page in the bar at the top of the event's form.
3. Check the notice at the top of the page. Its Hidden from the site pill means only you can see the page. Your edits show in the frame as you make them.

Search engines are asked not to list the preview. Turn on Show on the website to publish the event.

Post a recap after the eventCopy Anchor Link

When the event is over, its page shows a How it went section built from the Recap & photos tab.

Recent highlights on the community page shows the six latest past events, featured ones first. Older ones are listed under More past events. Each highlights card uses the event's Image, or its first photo when there's no image, and links to the event with See 12 photos (or however many it has).

Add a partnerCopy Anchor Link

Select Partners & sponsorships, then click the create button.

Every partner appears under Who we support, in one of three groups:

• Nonprofits: Nonprofit or charity, Animal welfare, and Community group partners. Cards show Animal welfare or Community group under the name.
• Local schools: School partners.
• Youth sports teams: Youth sports team or league partners.

Within each group, featured partners come first, then A to Z. A group with no partners is left off the page.

Edit the community pageCopy Anchor Link

Select Community page.

Without a Contact email, the volunteer and sponsorship buttons ask visitors to call instead.
