Managing event occurrences

You can manage and adjust the settings for each occurrence in an event on the occurrence management screen. The occurrence management screen is spilt into several tabs, each related to different area of an event occurrence. Here you can adjust various settings such as the description, the host, the number of spaces available, the start and end dates, as well as manage applicants (such as adding, removing, and bulk-importing attendees to the event occurrence), viewing user withdrawals, and managing those on the waitlist.
