Event Template Editor
The Event Template Editor is accessible in the same manner as other templates via the Manage My Widgets portion of the website.
Event templates are not treated the same as other widgets as they can not be included into any window layout. They can only be run via the Event Management portion of the site.
To get started:
- Browse to the Manage My Widgets page
- Click the Events item in the widget selection panel-bar
- Click the +Create New Event button which is on top of the grid that appears listing all existing event templates
- Fill out the popup window with appropriate values and click OK
- After a blank event template is created you'll see the the standard template layout with the editor targeting Events
Editor Overview
The Event Template Editor essentially is a tab strip dividing up the work and feedback so you aren't overwhelmed with a huge UI. Each tab can be navigated to without worry about losing the work you have done in any other tab. However, as with other templates, you must click Save to make any of your changes permanent. Clicking between tabs does not save your work.
The tabs comprising the template editor are:
Changes made to existing event templates do NOT effect any prior or currently running events. They only take effect on the next run of the template!
As with other templates, the ability to Save and Validate can be found at the bottom of the screen via the corresponding buttons.
