License Management > Calendar - Renewal and Lifecycle Management > Adding Manual Events

Status Update tracks changes to the current state of a license or product as activations, expirations, renewals or suspensions. Click Next.

Select License contract selection. Select a license contract that is related to your event. e.g., Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise - 500 Seats.

Click Next to go to the step Time frame to configure the end date, repeat schedule and timezone to control how events are scheduled and displayed.

3. Time frame

In the Time frame step you define when the event should take place and how reminders should be handled.

The following settings are available:

•Event date: Set the main date of the event (e.g., 01.12.2026).

•Remind me every day before the event ends: Activate this checkbox to receive daily reminders.

•Daily reminders: Configure the time of day and the number of days before the end date you want to be reminded (e.g., at 10:00 for the last 30 days).

•Timezone: Select the correct timezone for scheduling and reminders (default is usually your local timezone).

Best practice:
Choose a realistic future date for the event so it remains relevant for a longer period. Activating daily reminders is especially useful for important status updates or action-required events.

After configuring the time frame and reminders, click Next to continue to the Notifications step.

4. Notifications

In the Notifications step you define whether and to whom reminders for this event should be sent.

You can choose between:

•Do not send notifications

•Notify specific user groups when the event is approaching

If you select the second option, choose the desired user groups (e.g., MainGroup).

Best practice:
Activate notifications for important Status update events. Sending reminders to the MainGroup ensures that the responsible SAM team members are informed in time, this insight is visible in the Agenda tab. This helps prevent missed renewals or status changes.

After configuring notifications, click Next to continue to the Summary step.

5. Summary

In the Summary step, Raynet One displays a final overview of all configured event details before the event is created.

Review the following key information carefully:

•Type: The selected event type (Status Update).

•Display name: The name that will appear in the Calendar.

•Notifications enabled: Whether reminders are enabled and to which user group(s) they will be sent.

•Event date: The scheduled date of the event.

•Timezone: The configured timezone for scheduling and reminders.

•Notification receiver: e.g., MainGroup

•Interval: How many days before the event end date reminders will be sent.

If everything is correct, click Next to generate the event. If you need to make changes, click Back to return to the previous steps.

Best practice:
Always perform a final review in the Summary step. This is your last opportunity to verify that the event type, display name, date, and notification settings are accurate before the event is saved and becomes visible in the Calendar.

6. Progress

After clicking Create, Raynet One processes and saves the event. This step usually takes only a few seconds.

7. Finished

The system displays the confirmation:

Event successfully created.

You can close the wizard now.

You can either click Finish to return to the Calender or View details to open the event immediately.
