Hi Anna,
I don't have much to build on here as we tend to use all 3 of the steps you have above, but we also utilize a custom field for each planner on our team so that the meeting is assigned to us and is listed in our event queue. It has made accountability and clean-up a bit easier, but we've also tried to avoid test events altogether in favor of building from templates and holding until we are totally confident in the event set-up before we launch.
I hope that helps!

Subject: Test Events - Protocol
Hi there,
Does anyone have top tips or protocols they get their Cvent users to follow for if they are wanting to create test events in the system? So that they aren't clogging up our overall calendar as well as not being forgotten about and then get deleted.
I spoke to my CSA and they didn't really have any ideas. I didn't want to switch on the approve all events button because you can only put it on for all users and not just certain ones. The ones in question still training.
So far the guidance I have given is:
- Put "TEST" at front of Event description
- Do not move past pending
- Hide from the calendar so it does not appear to the rest of the company
Thanks, Anna
