Creating New Events & Assigning Event Administrators

Introduction

The following instructions are intended for Project Administrators. Project Administrators must create new events and assign Event Administrators in order to collect project data. An unlimited number of events may be created, and Project Administrators choose who to assign as the Event Administrator for each event. Event Administrators oversee event survey administration, including creating surveys, administering surveys, and accessing event reports and data.

Manual Entry

CSV or TXT Upload

Step 1

Visit www.cimerprojectportal.org and log in using your username and password provided by CIMER.

Step 2

Navigate to the Create New Event page by selecting “Survey Admin” > “Create New Event”.

Step 3

From the drop down menus, select the Project Group and Section to which you want your new event assigned. Note: You must select a Project Group before selecting a Section.

Step 4

At this point, you have the option either to use Manual Entry or CSV or TXT Upload to create your new event. We recommend that you use Manual Entry for ease of use.

Manual Entry

Step 1

Enter the Event Title in the given text field.

Step 2

Enter the Event Start Date in the given text field. This date may either be the start date of the event itself or of the date during which data collection will begin.

Step 3

Enter the Survey Administrator Email Address in the given text field.

Note: If there will be more than one Survey Administrator for this event, you may enter a second email address in the given field below. The additional survey administrator will have the same responsibilities as the primary administrator, except they will not be able to assign alternate survey administrators.

Step 4

Once you have completed each field, select “Save Event”.

Step 5

A notification will appear near the bottom of the screen letting you know if your event has been successfully created.

CSV or TXT Upload

This option may be useful in situations where more than one event is being created.

Step 1

Select the "CSV or TXT Upload" tab. Doing so will show the information that the CSV or TXT file will need to contain.

Step 2

Create a CSV or TXT file that includes the Event Title, Event Start Date (mm/dd/yyyy format), Event Administrator Email Address, Additional Event Administrator Email Address. The information must be listed in this order from left to right with each cell containing one piece of information. Do not include column headings. Your file will need to include one row of information for each event being created.

Step 3

Upload the CSV or TXT file by either clicking on the gray upload box and selecting the file or by dropping the file directly into it.

Step 4

Once you have completed the upload, select “Save Event”.

Step 5

A notification will appear near the bottom of the screen letting you know if your event has been successfully created.
