When you create an event with mycause, you have a dedicated EVENT DASHBOARD to edit and manage your event. (This is not the Entity or Partner Dashboard)
The main screen of the Event Dashboard has an overview of all the relevant event information.
Event ID number - please always quote this when you request support
Event link - you can change the name and link for the event under 'Event details' in the LHS navigation
Status -
'Approved' means you can publish the event by clicking the "Publish" button. (The event will not function until it is published)
'Published' is live and ready to go
'Awaiting approval' requires approval from mycause admin. You can request event approval at the help desk
The five white cards that take up most of the screen contain all the important information you need to keep track of your event's progress. (Please note that if your event does not have registration turned on, there will only be four cards.)
Event:
This card contains the dates for your event. If your event occurs on one day, you will only have a start date. If your event will take place over multiple days, you will see both the start and end dates here.
Registrations:
This card contains the start and end date for registering for your event. It also contains the number of people who have successfully registered for your event, and the number of incomplete registrations you may need to follow up on. (If your event does not have registration turned on, this card will not appear.)
Fundraising Pages:
This card contains the default close date of the Fundraising Pages created through your event. This is essentially the cut-off date for donations. The card also contains the number of active Fundraising Pages. (The number of fundraising pages may be different from the number of registrations if your event has a team registration option.)
Total Raised Amount:
This card displays the total amount you have raised and the target for your event.
The amount raised includes offline donations and donation-type registration
Below that, is the display for the number of donations received in the event.
Donations:
This card contains a breakdown of all the donations received through the event;
DONATIONS
- Donations made online to Fundraising Pages (FRPs) including registration fees that are marked as donations
- Donations added offline to FRPs
