Events

Events can be added and managed via the Umbraco Backoffice. To create Events within the Umbraco Backoffice, follow these steps:

• Create an "Events Home" node if it doesn't already exist. This will be the container for your events. You can do this by clicking the three dots next to your site home node and clicking "Events Home". Note, you can have as many event containers as you wish. For example, you may create one for training courses, another for online events, etc.
• Navigate to the Events Home node you just created, and click "Create Event"
• The initial "Event Info" tab contains all of the key details about your event, including the organizer, description, location and more. Populate this information as desired, note that you'll need at least one timeslot - if your event does not require timeslots (for example it's just a one off two hour event), then simply add a single timeslot and populate the start and end time. There is no requirement to populate the delegates fields, this will be done via the booking system as members register to the event
• There is an option within the "Event Info" tab to toggle on "Hide Capacity" - this will hide the remaining capacity from the event page (i.e. the text that reads "there are 10 / 100 spaces remaining")
• On the next tab, ("Fees") there is an option to add fees to the event. here you may set a single fee, or add multiple fees for different payment types (i.e. one fee for online payments and another fee amount for invoice payments). Within each fee, you may also optionally add groups to the "Permission Groups" field. This will restrict what type of member can see the fee. For example you may have a special rate you provide to members in a "Premium" member group. Finally, you may add early bird fees and the cut-off date for the early bird fees, after which, the early bird rate will no longer be available
• The "Event Sidebar" and "Header" tabs can be populated on a per event basis, but for simplicity, we recommend setting this up on the Events Home node itself, you can do this by navigating to the Events Home node and clicking "Content" in the top right, followed by the relevant tab. These tabs contain styling and colour options, as well as optional text to include above your booking fees and booking button
• The "Event Certificate" tab can optionally be populated to generate certificates for those that have attended the event
• Clicking the three dots to the right of the tabs will reveal further tabs, one of the titled "Event Pages" - these are content pages that can be viewed only by members that have registered for the event. This can be useful if you want to create course materials or other content for the attendees
• Once finished, click "Save and publish" in the bottom right, then click the "Info" icon in the top right - here you will find a "Links" section, clicking on one of them will take you to the event page for your event so that you can see how it looks!
