Create your first event

This guide will detail the basics of creating an event within the Nutickets system. The initial creation of an event in the system is a simple two-step process.

Event Creation

In the left-hand menu, under “Events” click “Create Event”

Step 1 - Event Information

1. This will start the event creation process. Firstly enter the Name and Description of the event.

2. Then set the timezone for the event. This dropdown will be auto-populated based on the default timezone of the company.

3. Underneath are the image inputs for the event. Clicking “Add image” displays the image sizes and the image file format required. 

The images are:

• Header Image - This is the image that appears at the top of the event page:

• Thumbnail Image - This is the image that displays before clicking on the event:

• Sharing Image - This is the image that appears in any link previews when sharing the event link on a third-party site (such as social media):

4. Underneath the images, there is an input for “Organiser Details”. The details inputted here should be of the event organiser and can be used by customers to get in touch if they have a question.

5. Once all of this information has been inputted, click “Next”

Step 2 - Event Location & Dates

6. In this next step, the venue is set. If no venue exists, a new one will need to be created. This is done by clicking “Add New Venue” and either using the Google Maps lookup to find it or by entering the address manually. If the venue required already exists, it can be selected from the drop-down menu

7. After this, the event date and time can be inputted to round off the Location & Dates step of event creation. Once this is done, click “Save as Draft”

8. This will then create the event in a “Draft” format.

Whilst in a draft format, further changes can be made to the event to round off the event setup, such as adding sale items and customising the look of the event. 

It should also be noted that whilst in a draft format, the event is hidden until it is published and put on sale.
