Overview
Organize your event by setting up the date, venue, and theme for the directory. Create tickets with different types and prices, add-ons for extra purchases, and plan sessions with speakers and activities.
Create a New Event
You can add a new event by going to the Events > Managed page.
Click on the green New button at the top which will open up this pop up:
Here you can provide the event name and title as well as set an organizer and provide access to the users.
The difference between event name and title is that the name is used to identify the event internally in the system whereas the title is displayed to the attendees.
You can select the organizer from the existing ones in the system, or can press + icon to add a new organizer and assign it to the event.
Note: The organizer field is a required field.
Once you click Save, you will be taken to the Event Designer page from where you can add/edit all events’ data.
Event Designer has the following sections:
Basic Info
Schedule
Details
Tickets
Sessions
Activities and Add-ons
Packages
Codes
Settings
Publish
Basic Info
Here you can add/edit the event’s name and title, select type, category and sub category, organizer and add tags to improve the event’s discoverability.
You can also select location type:
Venue - means physical location, which uses Google Places to find the matching locations.
Online - means the event is online and doesn’t have physical location.
To Be Announced - means the location is yet to be decided and announced.
You can also determine the date and time of the location to either single or recurring.
Note: You have the option to display the event's start and end times. This can be done by selecting the 'Show start time' and 'Show end time' checkboxes located beneath the start and end date fields. Alternatively, if you prefer not to display the start or end time, simply leave the corresponding checkbox unmarked.
Single event means it happens only once with specific from and to dates like in the screenshot below:
Recurring event means it will be repeated and so you need to specify all the dates of the event from the ‘Schedule’ tab:
And this is the Schedule tab where you can add these dates:
Selecting ‘New Date’ opens this dialog to add new date for the event:
Back to the ‘Basic Info’ tab, you can also add social networks links for the event as shown here:
Please note that any changes in any tab switch the bottom buttons to: Reset, Save and Save & Next. So you can either reset any changes taken in this tab, save them or save and go to the next tab, respectively.
Details
From here you can add the event’s cover image, which will be used as the main event image in both the web portal and the mobile app. You can also add description, images, videos and text details.Â
Here is how you can add/edit media inside ‘About Event’ section:
Press ‘Select’ to show dialog from where you can select image from media manager:
This is how the image and text sections look like:
Tickets
From this section, you can create new tickets for the event, edit and clone them.
Creating a Ticket
To create a ticket, click on the ‘Add New Ticket’ button and enter the ticket details.
The required fields of the ticket are:
Ticket name
Type: Paid or Free
Quantity type:
Fixed: Establishes a predetermined quantity of tickets available for sale.
Group inventory: Establishes a unified total quantity across different ticket types, where the purchase of any ticket affects the overall availability, regardless of the specific ticket type bought.

If paid, the price. There is an option to enable the original price if there is a discount on the ticket price. Checking absorb fees option means that the price includes the fees and unchecking it means the fees will be added to the price. For example, if the ticket price is $50 and fees is $1, if ‘Absorb Fees’ is checked, the ticket price remains $50 and the $1 fees will be deducted from it. But if the ‘Absorb Fees’ is unchecked, the $1 is added to the $50 and the final ticket price becomes $51.

More Elements
This section contains additional elements such as:
Border Box
Horizontal Line

Image
Badge Designer Settings
The badge designer settings tab allows you to adjust the name and size of the badge by specifying its width and height or choose a predefined badge size. Additionally, you can toggle the grid setting to show or hide grid lines on the badge and toggle the top-notch setting to display or hide the top notches for the badge hanger.
Customizing Elements
You have the flexibility to insert elements to the badge, clone, delete or adjust the element’s position.
You can manage typography settings, including renaming the element’s ‘Value' in case of an inserted text field, choosing a font family, adjusting sizes and weights of elements, changing the element’s position, and aligning the element’s position using the default alignment positions.
Overflow: Determines how the text is displayed within an element of specified width. There are two settings:
Text Wrap: For lengthy texts, text wrap maintains the specified font size while starting a new line to continue the text.
Text Autofit: For lengthy texts, text autofit automatically reduces the specified font size to fit the text within the designated width of the element. A minimum font size can be set to ensure readability. If the text still exceeds the width, a new line will start with the remaining text.
There are two default position alignments:
Horizontal alignment - Align the text horizontally in three positions: left, middle, and right.
Vertical alignment - Align the text vertically in three positions: top, middle, and bottom.
The Border box, Vertical line, and horizontal Line elements can be displayed as either Solid or Dashed lines.
The logo is uploaded from the Image element. Click on Upload a photo. The Image element can be used as a complementary image to the design as well.
Preview Badge Design
To preview the badge design, click on the Preview button.
Sample Data Input: Displays editable fields that users can modify to enhance the display of information and offer a clearer visualization of how the data will appear when printed.
The ‘First Name', ‘Last Name’, ‘Email’, and ‘Job Title’ will display the information of the logged in user by default.
Additional editable fields such as ‘Full Name', ‘Company’, and 'Ticket Name’ can be modified to preview different information instead of the displayed information.
Reset: Reverts the content in the fields back to the default information that was displayed when the preview pop-up initially opened.
To exit the preview mode, click anywhere outside the displayed pop-up.
Reset Badge Design
To reset the entire design and start over, click the 'Reset' button located at the bottom left of the screen, as shown:
A confirmation pop-up will appear to prevent accidental clicks on the ‘Reset' button.
To proceed with resetting the badge design, click the ‘Reset’ button; otherwise, click the ‘Cancel’ button to abort the action.
Edit Badge Design

Registration Email
Sends a confirmation email to the attendee after they purchase the ticket.
Sender Name, Sender Email, and Reply to Email
Allows the designated ticket to be sent from a specified email address. The 'Sender Email' and 'Reply to Email' will be applied exclusively to the intended ticket.
To assign a specific email address for sending the ‘Registration Email’ for all tickets of a particular event, navigate to the ‘Settings’ tab of the 'Event Designer' and enter the desired email addresses in both the ‘Sender Email’ and 'Reply to Email’ fields.
For instance, 'VIP' tickets are meant to be sent from a specific staff member’s email address, such as ‘arevans@captello.com’, while all other tickets for the event are intended to be sent from ‘marketing@captello.com’.
The ‘VIP’ ticket will have the 'Sender Email' and 'Reply to Email' linked specifically to the 'VIP' ticket as shown:
The remaining tickets will have the ‘Sender Email' and ‘Reply to Email’ associated with the event as shown:
Attach registration PDF to confirmation email
Enables the option to include or exclude the ticket as a PDF attachment by checking or unchecking the corresponding checkbox.
Advanced Settings
You can customize both the online and onsite (EventGen mobile app) registration forms. You can ask any number of questions and map them to the Prospect Profile.
ULC Forms as a Registration form
The ULC Form can be used as a registration form in the Event Directory. A template is created from the Registration Forms tab. Then the template is then chosen while creating or editing the ticket.
To create a ULC template, navigate to Events > Managed > Registration forms, click New, enter the information of the template, and then click Continue
While creating a ticket or editing an existing one, scroll down to Forms, choose Advanced from the Form Type dropdown, choose the template from the Online registration form dropdown or the Mobile app registration form dropdown, and then click Save.
Ticket Design
You can edit the ticket’s background image by uploading a ticket template. The system will fill in attendee information and the attendee’s QR code in the gray rectangle shown above. To create a ticket background image, click Download Empty Template or download the files below to edit. The template is available in JPG, PNG, or PSD, but must be uploaded in JPG or PNG.
For the extra-addon ticket, it is almost the same as the standard ticket except that:
It doesn’t have prospect info - since all extra tickets are accessible only for already registered attendees.
The activity/add-on field is required since it is an extra ticket created to give access to activities and/or add-ons.
Clone, Edit, Delete, or Archive a Ticket
To clone, edit, or archive a ticket, press the three dots on the right side of the ticket card.
Edit: allows for the modification of the chosen ticket.
Clone: clones the ticket data so you can change it to create a new ticket using data from another existing one.
Archive: blocks the possibility of buying tickets, both online and on-site.
Delete: deletes the ticket solely in the case where it has not been purchased.
Group Inventory
A Group Inventory allows you to link different types of tickets together with a total shared quantity.
For example, if you have standard, free, and VIP tickets in a group inventory with 5 tickets total, registrants can buy any combination of these ticket types until all 5 tickets are sold.
The key point is the total number of tickets bought. So, they could buy 3 standard and 2 VIP tickets, or all 5 could be standard tickets. Once all 5 tickets are sold, no more are available, no matter the combination.
Create a Group Inventory
To create a group inventory, go to the Group inventory tab, click on Add New Group Inventory, choose a name and quantity, and then click Add.
Assigning Tickets to a Group Inventory
To assign a ticket to a group inventory while creating a ticket or editing one, click on Quantity Type. Choose a group inventory from the dropdown menu or create a new group inventory by clicking on the '+' icon.
There is an option to edit the name or quantity of the chosen group inventory by clicking on the Edit icon.
The available quantity of tickets can be displayed or kept hidden.

Quantity available initially. 0 means no tickets.
The price - checking the absorb fees option means that the price includes the fees and unchecking it means the fees will be added to the price.
