Events
Event entities are the operational core of EventSlot. Every registration, waitlist, and ticket record is anchored to an event.
Event Lifecycle
| State | Description |
|---|---|
| Draft | Private setup state before publishing |
| Published | Publicly visible for registration |
| Closed | Registration is disabled |
| Archived | Event remains accessible for reporting |
Event Configuration Areas
- Identity: title, slug, host profile
- Schedule: timezone-aware start and end windows
- Capacity: slots, category limits, and overflow behavior
- Registration policy: custom fields, limits, and eligibility checks
- Communication: reminders, updates, and post-event follow-up
Operational Best Practices
- Keep slugs human-readable and stable.
- Use separate events for cohorts with different acceptance rules.
- Set close windows at least 30 minutes before check-in.
- Archive completed events to reduce dashboard noise.
