Create Events
You can create Calendar Events in IQ4. Using the IQ Events module, you can create and track events by location, topic, date, and calendar. IQ's Events module allows you to search history on an event, or to run reports on Events in the past based on the topic, the location, or attendees. You can add Contacts to an Event in order to send invitations or thank you notes.
