What This Screen Does
This is where you view all the details about a specific event. Think of it like opening a flyer for an upcoming event — you can see the title, dates, photos, description, and a list of everyone who has signed up. There are two tabs: one for the event overview and one for the list of participants.
How to Get There
Open the dashboard.
In the left-hand menu, click Events.
Find the event you want to view and click on it.
You are now on the Event Details screen.
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Use the Toolbar
At the top of the page you will see a toolbar with two actions:
Back — Click the Back button on the left to return to the events list.
Edit — Click the pencil icon on the right to open the edit screen for this event.
2. Switch Between Tabs
Below the toolbar there are two tabs:
Tab | What It Shows |
Overview | The event’s images, title, dates, and description. |
Participants | A list of everyone who has signed up for the event, along with a badge showing the total count. |
Click a tab to switch views.
The Participants tab displays a number badge showing how many people have signed up.
3. View the Overview Tab
When the Overview tab is selected you will see the following sections, from top to bottom:
Image Gallery
The event’s images are displayed in a grid at the top.
The first image is shown large on the left (or full-width on small screens).
Up to four additional images are shown in a smaller grid on the right.
Click any image to open it in a full-screen lightbox viewer.
Inside the lightbox you can browse through all images and close it when you are done.
Title and Actions
The event title is displayed in large text.
Next to the title there are two small buttons:
Share — A share icon button (for sharing the event).
Favourite — A heart checkbox that lets you mark the event as a favourite. It is checked by default.
Date Information
Below the title, two date ranges are displayed:
Field | What It Shows |
Available | The sign-up window — from the date sign-ups open to the date they close. |
Durations | The actual event period — from the start date to the end date. |
Each row has a calendar or clock icon for easy identification.
Description
Below the dates, the full event description is rendered as formatted text (Markdown).
This may include headings, lists, links, bold text, and other rich formatting.
4. View the Participants Tab
When the Participants tab is selected you will see a grid of participant cards:
Each card shows:
Detail | Description |
Profile Photo | The participant’s avatar image. |
Name | The participant’s full name. |
Phone Button | A red phone icon that opens your device’s phone dialler with the participant’s number. |
Email Button | A blue email icon that opens your email client with the participant’s address. |
On small screens, cards stack in a single column.
On medium screens, cards appear in two columns.
On large screens, cards appear in three columns.
Contacting a Participant
Click the phone icon on a participant’s card to call them.
Click the email icon on a participant’s card to send them an email.
Both buttons open the corresponding app on your device (phone dialler or email client).

Troubleshooting
“The page is blank and nothing is loading”
The event ID in the URL may be invalid or the event may have been deleted.
Try going back to the events list and clicking the event again.
If the problem persists, check your internet connection and refresh the page.
“The images are not showing up”
The event may not have any images attached. In that case the gallery area will appear empty.
If images were recently uploaded, they may still be processing. Wait a moment and refresh.
Check your internet connection — images are loaded from the server and require a stable connection.
“The participant count badge shows a number but the Participants tab is empty”
This can happen if the participant data is still loading. Wait a few seconds for the list to appear.
If it stays empty, try refreshing the page.
The participants API call may have failed silently. Check your internet connection and try again.
“I cannot find the Edit button”
The edit button is a pencil icon in the top-right area of the toolbar. It does not have a text label.
Hover over the icon to see the “Edit” tooltip.
If you do not see it at all, you may not have permission to edit events. Contact your administrator.
“Clicking the phone or email icon does nothing”
These buttons use your device’s default phone and email apps. If no default app is set up, nothing will happen.
On a desktop computer, the phone link may not work unless you have a compatible app (like Skype or FaceTime) configured.
For email, make sure you have a default email client set up in your system settings.
“The dates look wrong or show as ‘Invalid Date’”
This usually means the event’s date fields were not set properly when the event was created.
Go to the edit screen (click the pencil icon) and check that all date fields are filled in correctly.
“The description area is empty”
The event may not have a description. This is not an error — it simply means no one wrote one yet.
To add a description, click the Edit icon and fill in the description field on the edit screen.
“The Back button takes me to the wrong page”
The Back button always returns you to the main events list at
/events.If you navigated from somewhere else, use your browser’s back button instead to return to your previous page.
