Configuring an event in Oniva involves steps such as editing event information, defining booking options, designing the agenda, capturing speakers, and setting up authorisation groups.
In addition to the settings, the most important configurations for an event are made under "Edit event". When the edit mode is opened, five sub-items appear on the left side.
Everything about event information can be found in this article. All information about the booking selection, the agenda & speakers and the authorisation groups can be found in the corresponding articles.
The event information sets all the higher-level configurations of the event. For example, the event title, location, or event image are set here.
Tip: Repeated setting of venue
In Oniva, venues can be entered flexibly at different levels: either in the event information, in the booking options, or for specific dates. For example, a single booking option, such as a VIP cocktail reception, can be held at a different location than the rest of the event. If possible, we recommend that you do not enter multiple venues to avoid redundancy. If all options are at the same location, you only need to enter the venue once in the event information.
Tip: Event manager vs. contact person
The person responsible for the event in Oniva controls the authorisation for the event and can receive notifications (if configured). On the other hand, the contact person is displayed on the event website for guests and can be contacted in case of questions.
Tip: Repeated setting of online events
An event can be marked as fully online by activating the “Online event” option in the event information. Alternatively, only certain booking options can be marked as online by only activating this option. This configuration is useful for hybrid events or online events with different sessions.
