How to Set Up Featured Events

The Events platform enables Admins to mark Events as ‘Featured’ and these will be pulled to the top of the Events List page in a separate section. There is no limit to the number of Events that can be flagged as Featured, and they will be listed in chronological order from soonest to latest.

This functionality can be utilised by Admins to show the importance of an Event, or to drive further engagement for an under performing one. They are Branch specific and set by Admins when creating or editing an Event.

It is important to note that Featured Events will only be displayed to Users who have been granted ticket allocation to the respective event, and/or belong to the Event’s respective Branch – as such, it’s worth considering what the Home Page visually looks like to different Users or if there are no Featured Events at that time.

Step One: Turn On in the Branch

1. Log in to the Events Admin interface.
2. Select System from the header tabs. 
3. Select Branches from the drop-down menu. 
4. Navigate to the respective Branch and select to Edit from the Actions menu.
5. Navigate to the Display section. 
6. Turn ‘Featured Events Section’ to Yes. 
7. Review, and Save & Close. 

Step Two: Turn On in the Event

1. Select Events from the header tabs. 
2. Select Events from the drop-down menu. 
3. Navigate to the respective Event and select Edit from the Actions menu.
4. Navigate to the bottom of the Basic Details section. 
5. Set the Featured Events drop-down to Yes. 
6. Review, and Save & Close. 
7. Log in as different User Types to review how the Featured Event looks on the home page. 

Note – Featured Events will only show to Users who can book into the Event, or belong to the Event’s respective Branch.
