# Creating an Add Event JEvents menu item in Joomla 3

Now that you’ve [installed the JEvents Joomla 3 calendar component](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/events-by-month/), the next thing to do is allow users to add events. In this tutorial, we are going to show you how to create a link on your site called **Add an event**. When users click this menu link, they’ll be taken to a form where they can then add an event.

1. [Log into your Joomla 3 dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/)
2. In the top menu, hover over **Menus**, hover over the menu you want to add the JEvents link to, and then click **Add New Menu Item**
3. [![Edit Menu Item in Menu Manager](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/jevents/create-jevents-menu-item.jpg)](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/jevents/create-jevents-menu-item.jpg) Next to **Menu Title**, enter a title for this page. We used, *Add an event*
4. Next to **Menu Item Type**, click **Select**
5. Find **jevents** in the list, and then click on it
6. When the list expands under *jevents*, click **Create JEvents**
7. In the top left of the page, click **Save** [![Top Menu Link Added](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/jevents/click-add-an-event.jpg)](/support/images/stories/edu/joomla-3/jevents/click-add-an-event.jpg) As you can see in the screenshot to the right, in our top menu we have a link that says *Add an event*. In our text tutorial, we’ll show you how users can click that link and [add an event](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/add-new-event/) to our Joomla 3 calendar!
