Event Managment

As you might expect, your members can view all published events on a calendar, or switch back to the default card view. The member can click on the event name to go to the event details and from there make or manage their booking.

By default, published events are shown as event cards which are accessed from the events menu. The cards show summary details of the event, including the event name, date/time, organiser and with one click they can book the event or manage an existing booking. When a member manages their booking they can leave a note or change the status from attending to 'not going' (or vice-versa).

The event page shows the full details for the event. These include the name, location (with embedded Google map), event image, summary details and extended details. The organiser's name, date/time of event and attendee icons are also shown, along with a link to the meeting if it's online only (i.e Zoom or Teams). From this page, the member can choose to confirm attendance or manage their booking.

Administrators can create events, which can be either online or at a physical location. A simple popup form captures key information about the event, such as the title, location, date/time etc. Full event details and an event image can be added. The form integrates with Google Maps api, so once an address is typed into the address box, a Google map is loaded. Additionally, the admin user can choose to "promote" the event to members with one click! Events can be saved and published or saved as draft. The administrator can also specify the audience, so that the event is only shown to certain members. The choices are "all members", "admins only" or "members of a specific smart gorup"
