What This Screen Does
This is where you view the full details of an event. Think of it like opening a flyer for an upcoming gathering — you can see the event title, description, images, dates, and a list of everyone who has signed up. From here you can also navigate to edit the event or go back to the events list.
How to Get There
Open the dashboard.
In the left-hand menu, click Events.
Click on the event you want to view from the list.
You are now on the Event Details screen.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Review the Toolbar
At the top of the screen you will see a toolbar with two actions:
Back — Click this button to return to the events list.
Edit (pencil icon) — Click this icon to open the edit screen for the current event.
2. Switch Between Tabs
Below the toolbar you will see two tabs:
Tab | What It Shows |
Overview | The event images, title, dates, and description. |
Participants | A list of people who have signed up for the event. A badge shows the total number of participants. |
Click a tab to switch between the two views.
The Overview tab is selected by default when you first open the screen.
3. View the Image Gallery (Overview Tab)
At the top of the Overview tab you will see an image gallery.
The first image is displayed large on the left. Up to four additional images appear in a grid on the right.
Click any image to open it in a full-screen lightbox viewer.
Use the lightbox controls to navigate between images or close the viewer.
If the event has no images, the gallery area will be empty.
4. View the Event Title
Below the gallery, the event title is displayed in large, bold text.
Next to the title you will see two icons:
Share (share icon) — Click to share the event.
Favorite (heart icon) — Click to toggle the event as a favorite. A filled red heart means it is favorited.
5. Check the Event Dates (Overview Tab)
Below the title you will find two date ranges displayed side by side:
Field | What It Shows |
Available | The sign-up window — the date range during which people can register for the event (from “Open for Sign-Up” to “Closed for Sign-Up”). |
Durations | The actual event period — when the event begins and when it ends. |
Each date range is shown with a calendar or clock icon for quick visual identification.
6. Read the Description (Overview Tab)
Below the dates you will find the event description.
This is rendered as rich text (Markdown), so it may include headings, bold text, lists, links, and other formatting.
Read through it to understand what the event is about, any requirements, or special instructions.
7. Browse Participants (Participants Tab)
Click the Participants tab to see everyone who has signed up.
The tab label includes a badge with the total participant count.
Each participant is shown on a card with the following information:
Field | What It Shows |
Avatar | The participant’s profile picture. |
Name | The participant’s full name. |
Phone (phone icon button) | Click to call the participant. Opens your device’s phone app. |
Email (mail icon button) | Click to email the participant. Opens your default email app. |
Participant cards are displayed in a responsive grid — one column on small screens, two on medium, and three on larger screens.

Troubleshooting
“The page is blank and nothing loads”
The event ID in the URL may be incorrect or the event may have been deleted.
Try going back to the events list and clicking the event again.
If the problem continues, refresh the page and check your internet connection.
“I see the title but the images are missing”
The event may not have any images attached. This is normal — not every event requires images.
If images were recently uploaded, they may still be processing. Wait a moment and refresh the page.
If you expect images to be there, click the Edit button and re-upload them from the edit screen.
“The participant count badge shows a number but the list is empty”
There may be a temporary loading delay. Wait a few seconds for the participant cards to appear.
Try switching to another tab and back to Participants.
If the issue persists, refresh the page. The participant data is fetched separately from the event details and may have encountered an error.
“I cannot find the Edit button”
The Edit button is a pencil icon in the top-right area of the toolbar, next to the Back button.
If you still do not see it, you may not have permission to edit events. Contact your administrator to check your role.
“Clicking a participant’s phone or email icon does nothing”
The phone button opens your device’s default phone or calling app. If you are on a desktop computer without a phone app configured, it may not respond.
The email button opens your default email client. If no email client is set up, the click will appear to do nothing.
Check your operating system settings to make sure default apps are configured for
tel:andmailto:links.
“The dates show as invalid or empty”
This usually means the event was created without setting the sign-up window or event duration dates.
Click Edit and fill in the missing date fields, then save the event.
“I clicked Back but ended up on the wrong page”
The Back button always takes you to the main events list, not to the previous page in your browser history.
If you want to go to a different page, use your browser’s back button instead.
“The description looks like raw code or weird formatting”
The description is rendered as Markdown. If the person who created the event used incorrect Markdown syntax, it may display oddly.
Click Edit to fix the description formatting and save the changes.
