What is a 'System Event' and how do you set one up in Abra?

The “System Event” is a calendar item that appears on your Abra Organizer.  It is used to globally add the item on the Organizer of every user who accesses the Abra system.  To create a “System Event,” follow these steps:

• From the organizer, select the “Add Item” icon.
• Add an “Information” item and in the priority field located in the bottom left corner select “System Event” from the menu selection. 
• Add the pertinent details to the task.

This feature works great to remind staff members of system maintenance schedule (where they will need to close Abra), staff meetings, etc.  Keep in mind that if an event is added on the same day it is scheduled, then users need to select the “refresh” icon in order for the task to appear.  Otherwise, the system will refresh automatically when a user signs in on the system each day.
