How-to: Manage Events

Note: The Events module is an optional feature in Digital Experience Engine (DXE), and may be turned off for your site if it was not needed at implementation. If you’re interested in enabling Events in your DXE site, please contact your Account Manager.
 
While DXE has built-in Event administration, Events can also be managed using alternate plugins (such as Content Apps) that may look and function differently than described in this article.

Overview

Managing Events using the built-in DXE Events manager looks similar to managing other types of content.

Removing an Event

Tip: Events with a set End Date will expire and automatically be removed from search results in DXE.

If you need to remove an Event manually, you can do this in 1 of 2 ways:

• Unpublish: This will remove the event from search results but it will still be manageable and able to be republished.
• Delete: This will delete the event entirely. If you need to recover the Event, it will have to be recreated from scratch.
