This feature is for the organization that wants to prevent its Users from entering an event that is less than a certain number of days before the Event Start Date/Time (e.g. no events created within 3 days)
Go to the left navigation bar>Settings>Advanced>General>EVENT CREATION and find the following setting:
Once you toggle this setting on you can elect to limit an Admin to this restriction by toggling the button next to arrow #1 OR leave it off (as shown) to allow an Admin to override this setting. You will enter the number of days for this restriction next to arrow #2.
Now when Users go to enter an event, the dates are not available to select from the Date Selector
(e.g. Today is August 12, and you can see the first available date is August 15)
In addition, if manually entering the date, the User will see the following error upon hitting Save & Proceed:

Need an example of when this feature would be used. This is too vague to understand its context.
Thanks for this great feedback Debra! That article has now been updated.
I think this feature is great! Can you make it like the update feature where it can be toggled ON or OFF for Admins? Apply Event Update restriction X hours prior to the Event Start to the Admins as well"
Hey Adam!
Thanks so much for this...I have actually mentioned this to our Development Team. They are working through several other enhancements ahead of this, but it is on their radar. In the interim, please add your suggestion to "Post Idea", located under the "Help" drop-down menu on the top right of your dashboard so that others within the system can vote on it.
Our Development Team monitors these regularly and considers them for future enhancements, especially those with 30+ votes. We are grateful for all of our clients' ideas as they drive development, making us even better!
Thanks again!
Luke
We are using this feature to disallow events to be created for the same day. They must be at least one day out - unless created by an admin. This is working great until someone uses the 'create event' button on the calendar. Then the setting is being ignored. How can we enforce this for people not going through the web entry screens? Some of my users have rights to see the calendar and enter events but nothing else.
Hey Pam!
The "Create Event" button you have on your Public Calendar is for Public Event Requests. Those do come in, but are not actually submitted until a Manager reviews and approves/submits them to then go through the normal workflow. A regular internal user can have rights to see the calendar and enter events and nothing else. They could enter events internally and would encounter the rule for this feature. However, once you utilize the Public Event Request feature, it is not really a request as it has more steps prior to truly being entered.
Nevertheless, I recommend for you to search/add your suggestion to "Post Idea", located under the "Help" drop-down menu on the top right of your dashboard so that others within the system can vote on it.

Pam Matthews - It seems I forgot that you are able to include this feature setting in your Public Event Request form as well by going to the left navigation bar>Settings>Advanced>Event Request Form then click Edit to the right and enter the days for the following setting as you desire:
