Administering Jive Events

As a community administrator, you can determine how users see and interact with events in Jive.

With Jive Events enabled, events become a standard content type you can enable and disable for any place, such as space, group, or project.

You also have the option to enable Events Browse so that Jive places will include an Events page where you can view a listing of the place's events as well as filter them by tag, category, type, and date.

• Setting up Jive Events The first step in setting up Events is installing the Events plugin if it is not already installed.
• Installing Jive Events plugin You can install the Jive Events plugin from the Plugins page of the Admin Console.
• Enabling Events Browse With Events Browse enabled, a special Events tab is added to all community places, that is spaces, groups, and projects. On this tab, users can view a listing of the place's events as well as filter them by tag, category, type, and date to view related events together.
• Event properties Through the Events properties in the Admin Console, you can enable and disable the Event content type in your community and determine how community users can use it.
• Managing event types You can add new event types, delete event types you no longer need, and assign event type colors that are used in place calendars.
• Setting up event visibility and attendance policy You can determine the event visibility and attendance policy for events created in your community through event access types and space permissions.
• Determining event permissions You can decide which community members and groups have permission to perform which actions for events.
