**Summary:** Schedule a testing event with eligibility, fee, location, and notes. The event opens at a stable route with the reviewed date, eligibility, and fee.  
**Who can do this:** Organization owners, Managers, Staff  
**Required access:** `members.change`  
**Where in PositiveForm:** `/testing`  
**Status:** Verified on 2026-07-29 against PositiveForm build `a15afd7`.

## Who this is for

This guide is for **staff, managers, and owners** scheduling a testing day
against a progression.

You need the `members.change` permission.

## Before you begin

- Configure at least one progression ([Configure a progression](https://positiveform.com/guides/advancement/configure-progression/)).
- Choose the location and date for the test.

## Steps

1. Click **Testing events** in the left navigation.
2. Review the list and filters (**Progression filter**, **Status filter**,
   dates) if you are looking for an existing day first.
3. Click **New event** to open **Schedule a testing event**.
4. Name the event, set the scheduled date and time, and choose a
   **Progression**.
5. Save. Confirm **Testing event created** (or equivalent success).
6. Open the new event when you are ready to build the roster
   ([Run and finish testing](https://positiveform.com/guides/testing/run-testing-event/)).

## Expected outcome

A testing event appears in the list with its progression and status
(for example **Scheduled**), ready for roster work.

## Recovery

If creation requires a progression and none exist, open **Settings ›
Progressions** first.

If filters hide everything, reset status and progression filters. Empty states
distinguish “no events yet” from “no matches.”
