Step 5 of 7
Attach screenshots
Under Screenshot evidence, select Choose images. You can also paste an image into the form.
Step 6 of 7
Organize the event
Add useful tags. Select Star event for a key event. Choose a Group when one applies.
Step 7 of 7
Save the event
A nonblank Title enables Add event. Description is optional. Select Add event. Tellagen then validates Occurred time. An invalid Occurred time can prevent a successful submission after you select Add event.
You are done when…
Timeline shows the event with its title, type, and occurred time. It also shows any optional description, screenshots, tags, star state, or group.
Troubleshooting
Add event is disabled.
Enter a nonblank Title. Description is optional and does not control the Add event action.
The event cannot be saved after you select Add event.
Check Occurred time. Enter a valid date and time, then select Add event again.
An image is not attached.
Select Choose images again. Use a supported image file without secrets.
