Events Collection Overview
The Events Collection helps you create, edit, and manage all website events in one central place. You can add extra details to your events, like ticket prices, venue locations, and artist names.
To show events on your website, add a Collection content block to any page and customize its look in the Design panel.
Configure Your Events Collection
Step 1: Add a New Event
Click the Collections tab at the top of the Websites app.
Look for Events in the list.
Note: If you do not see it, click Add Collection, choose Events from the pop-up, and then select Events from your list.
Click the Add New Event button.
Fill out the event details using the fields below:
| Field Name | Description |
| Event Information | Basic details that show up in lists, feeds, and visual displays. |
| Images | Upload one main image for all listings, or turn on Override default image to add multiple photos. |
| Artists | Add multiple artists and sort them as Headliners or Openers. |
| Purchase Information | Add ticket prices, write labels, insert ticket links, and set the "on-sale" status. |
| Restrictions | Share age limits, rules, or special instructions for guests. |

Select the page where you want to display your events.
Click a (+) button between any existing content blocks.
Select Collection from the menu.
Click the Collection Type dropdown menu on the new block and select Events.
Tip: By default, the block shows all events. To show specific events only, turn on the Manual Selection toggle and choose your events from the Items dropdown menu.
Step 3: Design How Events Look
Scroll to the top of your page and click Design this page.

Change Event Status (Active, Inactive, Scheduled)
You can choose exactly when events appear on your site. You can only change the status of events you add manually.
Go to Collections > Events.
Locate the Status column. New events are automatically set to Active.
- Click the status icon for the event you want to change.
Select a new status from the pop-up menu and click Save.
Filter Events Using Tags
You can use tags to quickly hide specific events from your visitors or group them together.
Step 1: Add a Tag to an Event
Go to Collections > Events and open your event.
Scroll to the Tags section.
Type a tag name (for example: music) and click Add.
Click Save.
Step 2: Filter the Page Block
Go to the Pages tab and click on your events page.
Find your Collections block on the page.
Type your tag into the Filter by Available Tags field and click Add.
Click directly on the tag box that appears below the field.
Choose Include or Exclude in the pop-up box.
Look for a blue checkmark in the filter field to confirm the system saved your choice, then publish your changes.
Override the Default Event Image
By default, the website uses one single image for an event across all slideshows, lists, and detail pages. You can override this setting to use different images for different views.
Go to Collections > Events and open your event.
Scroll down to the Images section.
Check the box labeled Override default image below the main image field.
Upload specific images for each layout option.
Click Save at the bottom of the page.
