Events widget

The Events widget displays a maximum of 5 events from:

•  Communities a user is a member of, when added to the Default homepage, Audience Specific Homepage, Default Manager Dashboard, Manager Specific Dashboard, and User Dashboard pages. 

• A specific community, if added to the Community Specific page. For example, if the widget is added to the Community Specific page for the Marketing community, the widget will only display events the user has access to, from the Marketing community.
  
  This widget is useful if you want users to be informed of upcoming and available events in the communties they belong to.

  

By default, the Events widget displays a maximum of 5 events. However, if you have chosen to apply the standard overrides, only 4 events are displayed. 

Users can filter events using the dropdown in the top-right corner of the Events widget. 

If the background image for a PNG thumbnail is transparent or missing, Fuse automatically applies the company custom colour as the background, as shown below:

To prevent this from happening, you can convert the image to JPG or add a background to the PNG. This can be done locally on your computer or using an online programme such as: https://png2jpg.com/.

The following filters can be selected from the dropdown:

Filter	Description
Upcoming	Events that will occur in the future including: Events the user has registered for (and has been approved to attend if required) Events the user has been invited to The next available upcoming event will be displayed at the top of the list.
Attending	Events the user is attending. This includes: Events the user has registered for (and has been approved to attend if required) Events the user has been invited to
Past	Events the user has attended in the past, with the most recently attended event at the top of the list.
Pending	A list of events the user has registered for but has not yet been approved to attend. Once the user has been approved to attend the event, it will be moved to Attending or Upcoming (If the event takes place in the future).  For some events, users must be approved to attend by the event creator, their manager, or a specified user.
