1. Log in to www.streamText.Net
2. To schedule an event you will click on the Schedule Event  on the left menu.
3. Now set up the event. The fields are listed below.
   1. Event Template - This is used for repeat events. A template reduces the amount of work required to set up an event. You can set the event name, duration, writer, parsing format, customers, include chat and the password for the event. There is no limit to the number of event templates you can have. To manage them click on the Event Templates link in the left menu.
   2. Event Name* - This is the name of your event. The rule is you cannot have two events at the same time with the same name. You also cannot use spaces in the name. The name will be used to construct the link for your event. For example the demo event URL is http://streamtext.net/text.aspx?event=IHaveADream . You will just replace IHaveADream with this event name.
   3. Scheduled Date* - This will default to todays date. This will be the day the event will run.
   4. Scheduled Time* - This is the start time of the event. Your viewers will not be able to view the event until this time. It defaults to the current time.

   6. Duration in minutes* - This is the amount of time your event will run if you connect and write to the event. We have a good article on duration and when an event will end http://support.streamtext.net/KB/a3/when-does-an-event-automatically-close.aspx. This field defaults to zero min. 
   7. Writer* - The writer who will be providing the service. To manage your writers click on the Staff link in the left hand menu.
   8. Parsing Format* - This format needs to match the output format from your writing application. The most common format is ANSI and this is usually supported by all of the transcription applicaitons on the market. If you have odd characters or formatting that does not look right make sure you check the settings.

To select just click on the name. You will only see customers that you have added under the Customer link in the left menu.
