2. Select the required **date and time** by clicking on the corresponding square in the calendar.

3. In the **“Create Task”** window:

* Enter the **LABEL** field — this is the internal name of the event, visible only to you.
* Select the task type **“News”**.

4. Enable or disable the **“Notify Clients”** option:

* **Enabled** — guests will receive a push notification.
* **Disabled** — the news will be created without a push notification.

5. Add an **image** (up to **1 MB**).

6. Enter the **title** and **text** — these fields are required.

7. If needed, add an **external link** and its **name** (optional).
