Creating event-based panels

Training course

Event-based panels are custom displays of data that you can name, build, arrange in grids, and add to your site for an event. You can create single-instance or multi-instance panels when creating events by creating panel definitions.

Note: When an event is copied, the panel data is copied to the new event and when an event is created based on an event template that has panel data, the panel data is also copied to the new event.

Creating panel definitions for events

Do the following to create a panel definition for an event:

  1. Go to RiSE > Panel Designer > Panel definitions and select Add panel definition.
  2. Enter a Panel name and Panel description.
  3. From the Parent type drop-down, select Event.
  4. Select either Single-instance or Multi-instance from the Panel type.
  5. Click Create source and enter a Source name.
  6. Drag the properties to the grid, then Save & Exit.

Creating event-based panels with the Panel Editor and Panel Collection Editor content items

The Panel Editor and Panel Collection Editor content items let you display panels for events. Panels can include information about resources, sponsors, hotel/venue information, or any data you want a value list for.

These content items can be added to content that is used to display events to staff users, public users or both. Staff users have the ability to edit event panel data if the Panel Editor is configured to allow it.

To add these content items to an event-based panel, do the following:

  1. Navigate to the RiSE page to which you want to add the activity data.
  2. Open the content record for edit.
    3. Editing a content page
  3. Click Add content.
  4. Open the Content gallery, then do one of the following:
    1. If you have one event-based panel you want to add to the content record, select the Panel Editor content item.
    2. If you have two or more panels you want to add in a tabbed format to the content record, select the Panel Collection Editor content item. Choose an event-based activity type from the Panel field. The activity types will appear in a tabbed format.
  5. If you are adding a Panel Editor content item, do one of the following:
    1. Select Event from the Panel drop-down, if you already have a panel created, and click OK.
    2. Select New Panel to create a new panel and make changes as needed in the Panel Designer. Make sure you choose Event from the Parent type drop-down.
  6. If you are adding a Panel Collection Editor content item, do the following:
    1. Select which panels you want to use by adding them in the Panels drop-down.
    2. Make any other necessary changes to the content items, then click OK.
  7. Click Save As.
  8. Click Save & Publish.

Note: Anyone with access to event panels can view them including unauthenticated users. To restrict who can view the panels, use the content access settings.
