The Goal: Add address information to an event so the system automatically generates a map of the location on your published event details page.
Before You Begin:
- You need permission to edit events.
- Open the event you want to update: go to Events & Learning, Events section, click All Events, then select your event.
- On the event’s Overview tab, you will be able to enter address information, which will be used by the system to generate a map of the location.
Step-by-Step Instructions
In the Location section of an event, click the pencil icon
.
In the Edit Event Location window, configure the following:
- Enter the Location Name: The type-ahead searching feature allows you to start typing the Location name, and it searches your organizations, individuals, and past event names.
- If you select a name from the type-ahead feature, it will pre-populate the name and address field of the person/org/location you selected.
- If you do not select an item from the type-ahead, the address fields are left blank and you are able to type in a new location name and address.
- Enter a Location Description: This allows you to add additional information about the location of the event (such as where to park), and will be displayed on your event page.
- Enter the Location Name: The type-ahead searching feature allows you to start typing the Location name, and it searches your organizations, individuals, and past event names.
- Click Done.
Common Pitfalls
- No map appears: A map only generates when a valid address is entered. If you typed a Location Name without selecting a type-ahead match, confirm the address fields are filled in completely before clicking Done. Once saved, you will see a map of the location and the description on your published event details page.
