Creating a New Event
Creating a New Event
This guide walks you through creating a new event in DVOX Manager.
Step 1: Access Event Creation
- Click the Events tab in the side menu
- You’ll see a list of your existing events
- Click the + New Event button in the top right corner
Step 2: Fill in Event Information
Complete the Event Information fields:
Required Information
- Event Name — The title of your event (e.g., “Annual Gala 2024”)
- Parent Account — The account managing this event (usually your own account)
- Event Dates — Start and end dates when the event will be active
- Location Information:
- Street address
- City
- Province/State
- Postal/Zip Code
ℹ️
Event dates determine when the event is visible on dvox.live (for public events). Use the calendar picker to select start and end dates.
Date Selection
- Click “Event Date(s)” to open the calendar
- Select your start date
- Select your end date
- The date range will appear in the form
Step 3: Choose Permission Level (if applicable)
If creating an event on behalf of another account, ensure the Parent Account is set correctly. This determines:
- Who owns the event
- Who can edit it
- Which controllers are available
Step 4: Create the Event
Click the Create Event button at the bottom of the form.
What Happens Next
Once created, you’ll be taken to the Event Manager where you can:
- Edit Event Information — Change dates, name, location
- Configure Layout & Colors — Customize the guest interface
- Create Streams — Add audio streams for guests to select
- Assign Controllers — Connect DVOX hardware to streams
- Set Visibility — Make it public, private, or disabled
- Get Event URL — Share with guests
Event Manager Access
To edit an event later:
- Go to Events in the navigation
- Find your event in the list
- Click the pen icon on the right side
- You’ll enter the Event Manager
Date Range Tips
💡
**Multi-Day Events:** If your event spans multiple days, set the start date as the first day and end date as the last day. The event will be visible during this entire period.
**Same-Day Events:** Set both start and end date to the same date.
**Recurring Events:** For recurring events, create a separate event for each instance (e.g., "Weekly Wednesday Concert - Week 1", "Weekly Wednesday Concert - Week 2").
Location Information
The location information you provide:
- Appears in the event details on dvox.live
- Helps guests understand the event venue
- Is used in the event reports and analytics
ℹ️
You can use as much or as little detail as you want. Some venues use full addresses, others use just "Main Hall" or "Virtual Event".
