How to find your way around the planner

Learn what the planner's sidebar holds, what its status pills tell you, and how to fold it away or open it on a phone.

Every event opens in the planner. Its sidebar takes you to each part of the event, and its top tells you at a glance whether the event is public, whether registration is open and what is locked.

Before you start

  • You need access to the event, as a manager of its organization or through a role on the event. The sidebar only lists the sections your role can open.

Steps

  1. Open the event from your organization’s Event Planner. Dashboard and Tasks sit at the top of the sidebar, and the other sections are grouped by when you need them. The number next to Tasks counts the tasks still open.

  2. Click a group’s name, such as Set up, to fold it away. Click it again to open it. The planner remembers which groups you folded on this browser.

  3. Under the event name, three pills show where the event stands. Click one to change it:

    • Not published, Partially published or Published opens the window where you choose which pages are public.
    • Registration open or Registration closed opens Registration Settings.
    • Unlocked, Partially locked or Locked opens the locks.

  4. Click View event page at the foot of the sidebar to see the public event page in a new tab. Settings and Registration Settings, just above it, open the event’s settings.

  5. To make room for a busy schedule, click the button at the top of the sidebar (Collapse sidebar).

  6. The sidebar shrinks to icons. Point at an icon to see its name. Click the same button (Expand sidebar) to open the sidebar again. The planner remembers this choice on this browser too.

  7. On a phone or a narrow window, the sidebar is hidden. Tap the menu button (Menu) to open it over the page. It closes as soon as you pick a section.

What each group holds

  • Set up: Landing Page, Registrations, Responses and Divisions.
  • Scheduling: Blueprint, Schedule, Referees and Staff.
  • Event day: Check-in, Scores, Standings, MVP votes and Scoreboard Dashboard, which opens in a new tab.
  • Community: Message Board and Feedback & Voting.
