Events overview

This is where all of the library's events will be listed. Refer to the rest of the help notes to learn more about setting up and managing events.

Front-end location

Events will always be available in the following locations:

• Home page
• Events page (Check the navbar)
• Additionally check the buckets editor to see if there's any additional locations

Start and end dates

By default, events are set to last for a single day. However, if an event spans multiple days, you can specify both a start date and an end date. Additionally, you must specify start and end times. If the event lasts the entire day, simply check the 'All Day' checkbox.



Available in: New Record and Edit Record.

Short description vs long description

• Description: This text will be displayed on the event page to provide detailed information about the event.

• Short Description: This brief summary will appear in embedded previews, sidebars, and other areas where the event is featured.

Tagging events

It is vital to add tags that correspond to events to make them easier for users to find. Any events that are tagged will show up when a user filters by any matching tags on the events page.
