Dashboard panel - Event

The content in a dashboard is created by adding panels, and it is possible to add any number of panels to the dashboard.

Event - The event panel gives you the option to include events published in an event module in the form of a calendar icon.

Click Select to display the following screen:

• Panel - You can select a different panel from this drop-down menu
• Title - Enter the title of the panel. You can hide the title by selecting the Hide title checkbox
• Content source - Select the content source:
  • If you select iCal feed, you must enter the iCal feed URL in the new field that is displayed
  • If you select Event, click Select and select the relevant Event Module as your content source
  • You can filter the content further via the Event Metadata e.g. if you had one module for all Events but use metadata to define more specific things
• Show metadata labels - As of our June 2024 release, we have introduced the ability to show metadata labels:

• This feature enables the display of key metadata directly on Event Panels. Content administrators will be able to configure which metadata fields are visible, allowing clients to quickly access important information about events without having to navigate away from the dashboard:

In the displayed events, the metadata is displayed as a hyperlink which you can click to access similar content related to the metadata selected. 

• Location - Location gives you the option to select which data related to the location is shown and in what order that information is shown:

Additionally, some events may be online only events, meaning a location would not be shown

When the event is a location stored in the dropdown list comes from the organisation locations, it is possible to split the location. However, if someone has manually added the address, due to the way it is stored in the system, you will need to manually make the change

• Layout - You can choose the layout of your panel, including whether to display the calendar, the title only, title and icon, title and small thumbnail or the title and medium thumbnail
• Default display - This drop-down allows you to select what is displayed by default. Select from: upcoming events, all events, my events or past events
• Display in - Select whether you want to display panel on all devices, or just desktop/tablet
• Panel class - This field allows you to apply custom designs using CSS. This is for advanced users
• Respect user dashboard preferences - Select this checkbox to ensure your content respects a user's dashboard preferences
• Respect channel settings - Select this checkbox to ensure your content respects channel settings
