Closing an Event

CalUsource allows you to close an event any time after the event’s response period has ended, including after it has been awarded to remove it from your task list by marking it as complete within the tool. 

How to Close an Event

Click on the Conclude Event tab.

Select Mark as Complete.

A Confirmation popup window will display.

Click on the Yes button to mark the event as complete.

A Mark as Complete popup comments window will display.

Enter a comment explaining why you are closing the event. Your comments will be included in the email notification sent to suppliers and team members.

Click the Attachment icon to attach documents that provide supporting information that impacted your award decisions. This is an optional activity. Attachments added here are not included in the email notification sent to suppliers and team members. 

Click on the Done button.

A popup window will display, allowing you to edit the content of the email notification.

Customize the email if necessary by changing the subject line, adding attachments or modifying the body of the email notification.

Click on the Send button.

The event will now display a status of Completed.
