Events widget

The Events widget displays a maximum of 5 events from:

•  Communities a user is a member of, when added to the Default homepage, Audience Specific Homepage, Default Manager Dashboard, Manager Specific Dashboard, and User Dashboard pages. 

• A specific community, if added to the Community Specific page. For example, if the widget is added to the Community Specific page for the Marketing community, the widget will only display events the user has access to, from the Marketing community.

To configure the Events widget: 

1. In the Admin Panel, click Design Studio.
   Design Studio opens. 

2. Click one of the following tabs:

   • Default homepage: Homepage viewable to users who do not have access to an audience-specific homepage

   • Audience Specific Homepage: Homepage specific to certain roles, such as Sales and new starters

   • Default Manager Dashboard: Used to configure the default layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, viewable to all managers who do not have access to a manager-specific dashboard. 

     Manager Specific Dashboard: Used to configure a manager-specific layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, based on custom profile fields.

   • Community Specific: Homepage for a specific community, such as the IT, Sales, or Marketing communities

   • User Dashboard: Default dashboard viewable to all non-manager users who do not have access to an audience-specific dashboard

   • Custom titles in widgets are not translated in the Fuse UI.

6. In the Default filter option dropdown, select the default filter.  For example, if you select the Attending filter, users will see a list of events they have registered for/have been invited to by default. 

   Select one of the following: 

   • Upcoming: Events that will occur in the future, that the user has registered for (and been approved to attend if required), as well as events they have been invited to.

   • Past: Events the user has attended in the past, with the most recently attended event at the top of the list.

   • Pending: A list of events the user has registered for but has not yet been approved to attend. Once the user has been approved to attend the event, it will be moved to Attending or Upcoming (If the event takes place in the future).

7. [Optional] Click and drag the widget to a new position on the layout grid. 

   Other widgets on the layout grid adjust their positions accordingly.
