Overview
With GameDay Events, administrators have the ability to create an Event Template, allowing them to define broad event configurations that can be shared and re-used across multiple events, and even to other organisations within the hierarchy.
Step-by-Step
Step 1: Navigate to the Events screen
In the left-hand menu, click Events > MANAGE EVENTS
Step 2: Create a new event from a template
Click Events > CREATE EVENT FROM TEMPLATE
Step 3: Complete event details
Select the EVENT TEMPLATE from the drop-down list.
Then, complete the initial event details as follows:
- Event Name: The name of the event as displayed in your GameDay database and on the event landing page and registration form.
-
Event Timezone: Choose the timezone of the event's location.
-
Event Start Date/Time: Enter the starting date and time of the event.
-
Event End Date/Time: Enter the end date and time of the event.
Note: The Event Template you selected may also stipulate that the Event Start/End Date must be within a specific range.
Click SAVE when you're ready to proceed.
Step 4: Complete Event Details Tab
Complete the Event Details tab. Depending on the configuration of the Event Template, certain fields will be defined and locked. You can find this information in the Defined by Template section.
Visit the links below for more information on completing your Event Details:
Step 5: Enter Event Content
Enter your Event Content to define the information that will show on your event landing page.
Step 6: Add Event Products & Groups
Add any Event Products & Groups - again, you may already have products added to the event based on the Event Template you selected.
Step 7: Define Questions & Layout
Define the questions that you want entrants to answer through the event's Questions & Layout section.
Step 8: Add Messaging & Notifications
Add any custom messages on the form through the Messaging & Notifications section.
Step 9: Publish your Event
In the Publish tab, you can set your landing page and event form live by adding a Sub Domain, which will generate a live URL for your event.
In the Form Status section, you can set your event live by changing the status to ACTIVE and applying Form Activation and Expiry Dates.
