How-To: Manage Events

Note: Events is an optional feature in DXE. Events may be turned off for your site if it was not needed at implementation. If you are 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 different and have different options than described in this article.

1. Click Content in the Toolbar.
    
2. Click + Add new content.
    
3. Click Event.
    

4. Fill out the Event details, including the schedule, registration details, and venue.

   • Learn more about the individual fields in an Event.

Removing an Event

Tip: Events with a set End Date will expire and remove themselves from search results in DXE without any further intervention.

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.

2. Locate the Event name in the content list.

3. Click Edit next to the event.
    
4. Uncheck the Published checkbox.
    
5. Click Save.
