  • Title: The Event's title.
  • Date/Time: When the event takes place.
    • One-day event: Select the same date in the Start Date and End Date fields, then either enter the start and end time for the event (e.g., July 20, 2024 5 PM-8 PM) or turn on the All Day toggle to hide the times (e.g., July 20, 2024).
    • Event that occurs over a range of dates: Select the Start Date and End Date, then either add the start time and end time for the range (e.g., July 20, 2024 5 PM - August 20, 2024 8 PM) or turn on the All Day toggle to hide the times (e.g., July 20, 2024 - August 20, 2024).

The CMS determines the default timezone based on your computer’s browser settings. Usually, if you are located in the same timezone as your organization, the timezone is correct.

You can choose a different timezone based on your organization’s location if needed. Try typing the name of your nearest city to quickly find the timezone.

  • Show on Map: To provide a button on the Event page to help visitors know where to go in your physical space, click Add Location, then select a location from the list. To add a pin to the map that appears on your guide's Map tab, also select Feature on Map Tab. For more, see Map Visibility.
