Attendees
Section titled “Attendees”Under /admin/events/attendees/:eventId you see all registrations for an event. You can export the list as a CSV file - including status, waitlist position, registration time and consent flags.
Analytics
Section titled “Analytics”Under Analytics (/admin/events/analytics) you find:
- Total number of events and registrations
- Top events by registrations
- Top categories
- Activity trend over the last 30 days
Approvals
Section titled “Approvals”When the approval workflow is set to Pre-approval or Hybrid, newly created events end up in the approval list (/admin/events/approvals) first. You can Approve or Reject each event individually there.
Categories & venues
Section titled “Categories & venues”- Categories (
/admin/events/categories): Create your own categories, rename, sort and delete them. - Venues (
/admin/events/venues): Enter addresses you want to reuse once and use them on many events. - Templates (
/admin/events/templates): Reusable event templates with preset values.
Reports
Section titled “Reports”When users report an event the report ends up in the central admin surface under Administration → Reports (/admin/reports). When an event reaches the threshold you set, it is hidden automatically.
Frontend features
Section titled “Frontend features”This is how your users interact with the module in the app:
Events overview
Section titled “Events overview”On the main page (/events) users see all published events. Via a view switcher they can switch between the displays you have enabled (list, grid, calendar, agenda, map, carousel, tiles).
Detail page
Section titled “Detail page”Tapping on an event opens the detail page (/events/detail/:id). It contains description, time, venue, organizer, speakers, sessions, gallery, terms and privacy plus the registration button.
Registration
Section titled “Registration”If Registration required is active, users see a register button. Behind it sits a form with possible custom fields and - if you require it - checkboxes for terms, privacy and marketing consent.
When an event is full and waitlist is active the user lands on the waitlist instead and gets a push message as soon as a seat opens up.
My events
Section titled “My events”Under /events/my-events your users find three tabs:
| Tab | Content |
|---|---|
| Registrations | All events they have registered for |
| Tickets | Bought tickets (if active) |
| Bookmarks | Events they have saved |
Bookmarks, calendar export, reminders
Section titled “Bookmarks, calendar export, reminders”When you have enabled the corresponding features users can:
- Bookmark an event to find it again quickly
- Export to their own calendar (iCal file)
- Get reminded by push - 24 hours and / or 7 days before start
Push notifications
Section titled “Push notifications”The Events module can send push notifications automatically. In the Behavior tab you decide for which events that happens:
| Trigger | When |
|---|---|
| Event created | As soon as a new event is published |
| Event updated | When date, venue or other key data change |
| Event cancelled | On cancellation |
| Registration confirmed | When someone successfully registered |
| Waitlist promoted | When a waitlist seat opens up |
| Ticket purchased | After successful payment |
| Event reminder | Before an event starts (24 hours / 7 days) |
| Event reported | Information for admins |
Requirement
Push notifications need the active Notifications module. If it is not set up, the toggles are still saved but no messages will arrive.
Multi-language
Section titled “Multi-language”Three areas in the Events module are multi-language capable:
- Title and description of every event - can be entered per language
- Custom labels in the “Labels” tab for “Event”, “Register”, “Ticket” and “Organizer”
- Category names - when creating a category you can enter a name per language
If the app finds nothing in the chosen language it falls back to English or the next available language.
Frequently asked questions
Section titled “Frequently asked questions”Why doesn’t my event appear in the app?
Section titled “Why doesn’t my event appear in the app?”Check these points:
- Does the event have status Published (not Draft or Pending approval)?
- Is the date not too far in the past? In the Behavior tab under Past events you set how long events stay visible after they end.
- Is the scope appropriate (e.g. not accidentally restricted to one team)?
How do I change the default view?
Section titled “How do I change the default view?”Open the View tab, enable the desired display and pick it under Default view.
Can users cancel their registration?
Section titled “Can users cancel their registration?”Yes, as long as you have enabled Cancel registration in the Features tab.
How does the approval workflow work?
Section titled “How does the approval workflow work?”In the Permissions tab you choose one of four modes:
| Mode | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Off | Events are visible immediately |
| Pre-approval | Events need approval by an admin first |
| Post-moderation | Events are visible immediately but moderated afterwards |
| Hybrid | Trusted users publish directly, others need approval |
What happens when an event is reported multiple times?
Section titled “What happens when an event is reported multiple times?”When it reaches the auto-hide threshold you defined in the Permissions tab (default: 3 reports) it is hidden automatically and no longer appears in the list - until you as an admin decide what should happen.
How long is registration data stored?
Section titled “How long is registration data stored?”In the Behavior tab under Privacy / Retention (default: 90 days) you set when personal data is automatically removed or anonymized after the event has ended.
