Exploring the Opening Screen

The EventsAir opening screen / Home screen is the first screen you see when you log in:

You can always return to this screen by clicking on the name of the current event you're working on (the event name is centered at the very top of your EventsAir screen when you're working within an event). [In Version 16 onward, select "Home".]

In Version 16, it's easy to search / filter for your events, including those you've marked as favorites.

Use the ... menu for each event to open, archive, or delete.

 Be sure you understand what's involved before archiving or deleting.

You can also use the "Event Switcher" (top center) to switch between recent events.

Event Alerts

If you see an orange or red indicator on a specific event, the number displayed indicates the number of high (orange) or critical (red) alerts that are new for this event. 

If you're using pre-Version 16, the EventsAir opening screen displays the following sections:

• CURRENT (Events or Meetings) [on the left] 
• RECENT (Events or Meetings) - will also highlight any alerts for these events
• ALL EVENTS (shows all Events you have access to)
• Event Search Options

  • By Name
  • By Event Start and End Date
  • By Event Group
  • By Event Location
  • By Event Custom Fields
• Application Setup
• New Event creation (you can also delete or archive an existing event)

Under each section:

• Open / Edit - the small menu to the left of each event lets you edit the event settings, or open the event.
• Name - the name of the event.
• Start Date
• End Date

• Type - indicates if this is an event or a contact store.
