You may click on an event from your Organization Homepage and make any necessary changes. Changes include editing the Event Title, Event Dates, Time Zone, Visibility Settings, etc.
From your event's dashboard homepage, click the Edit button. The Edit button is in the upper right corner of the screen to the right of the event title.
This page lets you make changes to your Event Info, Event Icon, and/or Event Settings.
Event Info
Title
Enter the title of your event here.
Time Zone
Select the time zone for your event.
This time zone selection is used to determine the time scheduled push notifications will be sent.

Select the dates when your event will start and end.
These dates will be displayed on the app's event list screen.
Visibility
- Preview (HIDDEN): Events with this setting are only visible on the app's event list screen to Touchpoint Admins who are logged into the app with their admin credentials.
All newly created events will be marked as Preview (HIDDEN) by default.

When you are ready to go live with your event on your app, you may simply select Published (LIVE) on this page, then click Save Gathering.
- Archived (CMS ONLY): Events with this setting are not synced to the app and are only visible in the Touchpoint CMS.
- Template (CMS ONLY): Events with this setting are not synced to the app and are only visible in the Touchpoint CMS.
They may be edited and used to apply their settings to other events, as needed.
Apply Template
Any Event Templates you have created on your account will be listed here.
Select an Event Template to apply to your event, if needed.
Applying an Event Template applies the Template's Color Theming, Phone Home Layout, iPad Home Layout, and Feature Settings to your event.
Please note: If you have already made changes to the Color Theming, Phone Home Layout, iPad Home Layout, and/or Feature Settings on your event, those changes will be overwritten by the Event Template when you click Save Gathering. Please consider this before applying an Event Template. This action cannot be undone.
Targeted
When Targeted is turned ON, the event will only be visible on the app's event list screen after a registered attendee has logged into the app.
When Targeted is turned OFF, this event will be visible on the app's event list screen before logging into the app.
Estimated Users
While not required, filling in Estimated Users with the number of users you estimate will be using the app for this event will help keep a record of estimated server usage.
Event website URL (optional)
You may optionally use Event website URL (optional) to store your Event website URL in the Touchpoint CMS for your records.
This URL is only displayed in the Touchpoint CMS.
Registration URL (optional)
You may optionally use Registration URL (optional) to store your Registration Form URL in the Touchpoint CMS for your records.

The Event Icon is displayed to the left of the event title on the app's event list screen.
This file must be a square image. The image must be at least 250 x 250 pixels. The file format must be either .png or .jpg.

Event Settings
Hide Locations
Use Hide Locations if you would like to hide ALL locations for this event on agenda sessions, exhibitors, etc.
Display 24 hour times
Use Display 24 hour times if you would like your session times to be displayed in 24 hour format.
Display dd/mm/yy dates
Use Display dd/mm/yy dates if you would like your session dates to be displayed in dd/mm/yy format.
Prefer User Timezone
Prefer User Timezone is useful for virtual events.
Prefer User Timezone sets the time zone of any time displayed within the app.
The app times affected by Prefer User Timezone include agenda session times and social activity. Prefer User Timezone displays those times in the app user's device timezone.
Prefer User Timezone avoids anchoring the times to the time zone set on the overall event. Attendees accessing the Touchpoint event app from various time zones will see times in the time zone set on each app user's individual device.
When Prefer User Timezone is set to “ON”, any time within the app will be displayed in the app user’s device time zone.
When Prefer User Timezone is set to “OFF”, any time within the app will be displayed in the time zone set on the overall event.
With Prefer User Timezone turned ON, the overall event timezone must still be set. Scheduled messages sent out will be sent at their scheduled time in the timezone set on the overall event.
Example: An event is set to CST. A message is scheduled to be sent at 10:00AM (CST). An app user whose device is set in EST receives this message at 11:00AM EST. An app user whose device is set in PST receives this message at 8:00AM PST.
Primary Language
Select Primary Language for this event on the app from the dropdown menu.
Primary Language is the language that all hard-coded text will be displayed in.
Hard-coded text includes examples such as “Login”, “Logout”, “Last Sync:”, and “Edit”. You may enter content and edit button labels in the Touchpoint CMS in whichever language you wish.
If you would like to include multiple languages on your app, reach out to Certain Support to enable this setting for you.
Location
Optionally, choose a Location from the Location dropdown menu to display in the Touchpoint CMS for your records.
You may edit the locations listed in this dropdown menu under Locations in the Touchpoint CMS. This location is only displayed in the Touchpoint CMS.
