Configuring Event Date Settings for the Event

Overview

Event Date Settings let you define key timelines for your event — when it is published, when registration opens, and when the event goes offline. Use the date pickers and time selectors to schedule precise publication, registration, and offline times, or remove dates if scheduling is no longer required.

Step-by-Step Approach

1. Expand the Event Date Settings section

• Open the Event Dashboard and go to Event Settings → Event Date Settings.
• Click the section header to expand it and reveal publication, registration, and offline date controls.

2. Select Event Publication Date

• Click the Date picker for Event Publication Date and choose the desired calendar date.

3. Select Time for Event Publication Date

• Use the hour and minute select fields to set the exact publication time (e.g., 09:30).

4. Select Event Registration Date

• Click the Date picker for Event Registration Date and choose the registration start date.

5. Select Time for Event Registration Date

• Set the registration start time using the hour and minute select fields.

6. Select Offline Date

• Click the Date picker for Offline Date to choose when the event should go offline or no longer be accessible.

7. Select Time for Offline Date

• Specify the offline time using the hour and minute select fields to make the offline moment precise.

8. Remove the Event Publication Date

• To clear the publication schedule, click the Remove or Clear icon next to the Event Publication Date field.
• Confirm the removal if prompted; this will make the event unscheduled for automatic publication.

9. Remove the Event Registration Date

• To remove the registration schedule, click the Remove or Clear icon next to the Event Registration Date field.
• Confirm the removal if prompted; registration will no longer be scheduled to open automatically.

9. Remove the Event Offline Date

• To clear the offline schedule, click the Remove or Clear icon next to the Event Offline Date field.
• Confirm the removal if prompted; event will no longer be offline automatically.

Save your changes

• After making changes, click Save or Apply to commit the updated dates and times.
• Some changes may trigger warnings if they conflict with other settings (for example, a publication date after the registration date)—follow any on-screen prompts to resolve them.

Tip: Double-check time zones when scheduling dates and times to ensure the event publishes and goes offline at the intended local time.
